...then multiply it by the size of a cougar tail and it's about the same ratio on price, plus the normal stadium mark up.

Honestly the price isn't abnormal at all though.

And a cougar tail is simply a long maple bar. So if you don't like maple bars, then cougar tails are not for you. But that doesn't mean "they just aren't very good". That's just your taste. I'd say more of average person enjoys a good maple bar, then doesn't.
