Saw this syrup at the store this evening for sale. Almost looks like the real thing at a quick glance. I bet many people are fooled thinking this is the real stuff

This is really scamming and fraud. Consumers are totally fooled by this labeling. When I see this junk and someone buyibg it I try in very simple terms to explain tgey're buying sugar water. People are amazed,amused,mad,don't believe me,etc. Ignorance really is bliss.

We had to visit family in Massachusetts for a funeral recently and stayed at a hotel. While at breakfast my son (8) was pouring the small plastic container of so called maple syrup. It came out and it had a bead texture like water on a freshly waxed car or like an oil residue. I remained quiet and after his first bite his face squinched and he asked
Pop is this real syrup?
I don’t know bud what do you think?
Ugh no it tastes like oily corn with maple flavor.
Needless to say the market is more flooded with imitation than real.
