The new place they built a train as the sugar house is around the corner from my house, anyone know if it’s any good?

Just go and support a local business!

As much as that is a standard statement around here, i prefer to find out if something is decent or not before I spend money on it.

And you trust a strangers opinion on the internet over your own experiences?

You've never once asked about something online? Never asked people their thoughts on Reddit about something you aren't sure about? a DIY project, a hobby?

I call bullshit.

I’ve been to places where the reviews are good and the place is not good (to me) and the exact opposite. But if multiple people say it’s good then it’s a good chance it is, if multiple say no, probably a chance it isn’t good and we find somewhere else.

And it isn’t a bad thing to not blindly go somewhere, show up, spend money and time to then find out it’s not good.

Do people buy a car simply because someone says “just go support your local car dealer”? No. It’s the same thing.

It's a bottle of maple syrup, not a $30,000 car.

Same principle. Jesus why is that so hard for people to understand?

Let’s make it less money then, so you’ll go spend $20 on something you know nothing about because “it’s local!”

I saw one of their ads and they were bragging about how their maple syrup is made from sap from rock maples instead of sugar maples. A rock maple is the same thing as a sugar maple. I’m a semi professional maple sugar maker and I will nerd out about trees if you ask me questions.

I saw that was well, I laughed because I knew of that fact as well. Marketing right? Ha!
