Had a cousin (or some kind of in-law, maybe) complain at a family reunion about how he’d gone on a vacation in Vermont, and couldn’t buy syrup just *anywhere* like he expected to. Got started on this by another family member saying they’d gotten a job at the local Macy’s, if that gives you an idea on how bad his presumption was.
real maple syrup is a luxury item even here in Canada, likely because the corporations know how coveted it is and so they jack the prices. It’s a little cheaper to buy from wholesalers and farmer’s markets, but it will still be way more expensive than buying some Aunt Jemima or Mrs. Butterworth’s
Just five years to go, Marla. Hang in there.

Pot, Kettle.
I suppose he expects Marla to drive to the grocery store and buy him some maple syrup.
Speaking of which, I thought maple syrup (the real stuff, not the super sweet stuff) would be cheaper in Canada. Not so.
