Everything these days is made with corn syrup and tastes gross. It's sort of pathetic how the US is one of the only countries (or maybe THE only one??) that subs HFCS for sugar.

I believe HFCS is why so many Americans are fat. (one of the reasons). That and chemicals in the food.

Agreed. Weight gain really has taken off in this country since corn syrup was put in everything.

Yeah, I wanted to avoid driving to Canada. I am pretty sure the local Costco does not carry it either.

People have no idea how everything they eat has corn in it. Between the sugar import quota and the corn subsidies, it ends up in everything. They claim it tastes the same, but that is not true. I only dream of the day the government stops messing with the sugar industry and we start using it stuff again.

If you have never tried Coke with real sugar, you should really find a bottle and give it a try.
