Well, if you consider how the net result of consumer polling places "McDonalds" as the favorite restaurant...

This is kind of a case study on how polling large swaths of people surfaces comfort and familiarity over actual quality.

I was gonna make a comment about Taco Bell being top of Mexican restaurant polls because it's ubiquitous even if not anywhere near authentic. Same here. People around the rest of the country are raised on fake syrup and look for that fakeness as if it is what real maple syrup actually tastes like.
