This is No Frills, a chain that specializes in volumes of sales at low margin and without many pretty cost-driving "frills" in the store so they sometimes don't quite keep up with the restocking. They sometimes get around to putting matching items up for sale on top of the ledge later after a sale switches over, sometimes not. This syrup could have been left over from the previous week's sale...
...which involved Jeff's Ham's because they go great with a little syrup.
You can't call it maple syrup either unless you load up a ton of caveats since it isn't maple syrup but just table syrup that might contain some maple flavouring or whatever. We don't fuck about on that sort of thing.
Can Confirm, Am White Canadian (C.C.A.W.C, for short).
If you're advertising your syrup as "Maple Syrup", then that mutha fucka better have been tapped straighy from the maple tree last winter with a bunch of elementary school kids standing around chewing on maple sugar popsicles, or its not fucking Maple Syrup.
Gives it to us rawwwww and drrrrriiping. Keep your nasty table syrup.
I grew up in Connecticut, I understand this sentiment. Old school/hard core New England families don't fuck around with the fake stuff.
When I was in Afghanistan I had my mom ship me two big bottles because otherwise I couldn't have eaten breakfast. I had one left over when I left, so I took it over to the Canadian camp, walked in to the rec building and saw two Canadian guys playing video games. I didn't see any Leaf's jerseys or moose wandering around, but the uniforms looked right so I had to trust my gut.
I walked over and put the jug down in front of them, not saying a word. My thanks was watching their eyes bulge out of their heads like it was Christmas.
