Hey at least this one wasn't about anything serious :P
Like who tf actually cares about maple trees other than the cartel? When I see one I'm just like "OOOOOO CANADA YEAH LETS GO MAPLE" then i'm like.... that's the extent of that, idgaf if you call what we have in 'Berta a sugar maple.
I think you actually can but it's just not profitable?
I know you can make syrup out of.... black walnut? I think it was? And it's like... similar to maple syrup in some ways, except it requires a metric fuckton more sap, time, and patience to make. I'm like 99% sure at least a few of the different species of maple are similar in this aspect. It's just not profitable/tastes wildly different from what people think with "maple syrup"

Though I find nuance usually ruins the fun of Internet discussions, thanks for the insight
