Uh… Whatever you say, that’s not really a thing this side of the ocean. We use a lot of different things in pickles - never have I seen anyone use HFCS. Not even in store bought pickles.
I tried Fanta in the US and it was disgusting compared to the European version. If the corn syrup is what causes that and they also put it in pickles where you come from, I understand why you might prefer the salt type. But I assure you, even store bought vinegar pickles are way superior to salt pickles here.
Sorry, I made the assumption you were from the other side of the moat. My partner is in the states at the moment and says that even the baby formula has HFCS in it. Scandinavian pickles with vinegar are fine, I just prefer the fermented polish ones.

You’ve never had the good stuff then. Salt brine based is boring.

I’m not a fan of high fructose corn syrup.

You know… you can pickle your own stuff, without HFCS, right?

Yes salt, water, and the lactobacillus from your hands.
