I can purchase a 55 gallon drum of maple syrup at my local Costco.

    1. Trying to think who would even purchase this? Maybe a business using it as a sweetener in production of some sort of sweet food product. But even then, it seems like if it was production at such a scale they’d have a more specialized distributor.

    2. Well if 750ml is like $12.99 that would be $3500ish so 30% off for saving the bottles and packaging time and labels and stuff… Seems pricing wise about right…

      Does r/canadianpreppers exist lol if you live in the prairies and can’t get your own

      $12.02/litre. Pretty good deal honestly. I know In BC it’s like $18 for a 750ml

      Edit, I was doing the 55 gal conversation, I zoomed into the tag and saw it was 208.6L, which would actually make it $11.98/L

    4. That’s about 550,000 Calories

      Hmmm 2200 calories a day 250 days… $10 per day… Bud am. I crazy? Should I go on the syrup??

    5. I mean, *someone* has to be buying it. A local pancake shop I guess? $2500 seems pretty good value when you think how many dinky bottles you’ll get out of it.

      Legend has it that every Canadian gets one of these plus a pet moose when they turn 18.

    7. Grade A Maple Syrup is ~$8-$10 per 12fl oz bottle ~350ml. That’s going to give you 596 bottles. You could possibly double your money if you rebottle it.

      How do I know it’s not from that theft a few years ago. Bros finally found a buyer huh.

      rebottle and sell for a premium at fruit markets. I did that with bulk honey. Bought 5 gallon buckets and made about $300/bucket and reselling is as my own local honey
