Why are people all about Crops?

I was at Karma Klub and was recommended Crops (Karma guy said one of the top 3 growers right now. Wtf no way), which I had not tried. It sucks. The dispo recommended even though the harvest date was old. I tried the Animal Mints. No flavor and absoluytely brittle dry. I regret the purchase. Anyone else have similar experiences, or just me? I can't believe I am saying this, but I could stayed in my hood and gotten High Supply at Sunny, so much better than this crap.
