Probably because g(i/y)psies made it.
I don't tend to like sweet things (apart from willmore, naturally) and maple syrup has to be he sweetest thing available, so it's not really surprising I don't like the stuff. I've never tasted Aunt Jemima's gunk, but I don't think I could dislike it more than I dislike maple syrup.

I like stuff with maple syrup in it - I like the flavour - but my teeth and brain cannot handle the sweetness. I vibrate just thinking about it!
