I just read about some $10 million dollar maple syrup heist, where they stole some crazy amount like 50k gallons. It made me think of Breaking Bad when they siphoned methylamine out of the tanks on a train, then filled them back up with water. Seems like a very high effort heist.

Have you see the price of premium maple syrup and olive oil, no wonder organized crime is into stealing it and selling fake.

And this is why I'll always barter with my crazy neighbor for his fresh maple syrup.

Not surprised. I seen an article sometime ago that due to cannabis getting more legal in the US drug cartels were targeting avocados.

That is at least ten semi tankers at the weight limit.

I imagine you’ll get a pint of finished syrup. The volume reduction of sap to syrup is yuuuuge.

Tapping easy
Long hours of boiling down …no thanks

Oh well, I guess a maple surope conglomerate is not in my future.

Not without some organized crime.

That’s like $400 a gallon wholesale. And without the spend AN did on popping bottle art.

 

[captainmorgan]

Most people have never had real 100% top quality maple syrup before, most of the stuff in stores is maple flavored corn syrup.

 

[CunningCanuk]

High quality maple syrup. It’s the thing that makes Canadians so delicious.

 

[captainmorgan]

I spent some time around Vermont and New Hampshire in my younger days, they had some pretty good local syrup.

Real maple syrup on blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon is absolute bliss after a good sesh.
