"same producer...different distributor" eh? 🤨

But the first he was caught, he was "outraged" and claimed it was the distributor who was at fault.

It's sooooo weird distributors are in cahoots to fraud maple syrup buyers., eh? /s

And the Maple jenga lie logs come tumbling down....

@SnowyCA The producer is also a first-tier distributor.

I had a second-tier distributor in mind (in my context) 😅

I was thinking the same.
