Slurp! We made maple syrup once when I was a child. Do you have any idea how much sap it takes to make even a cup of syrup, how long it takes to gather that much sap from one tree and how long it takes to boil the sap down to syrup? We only did it once.
I've started using maple syrup for my pancakes, french toast and waffles now, expensive but well worth it.
