I don’t know much about corn syrup, but I assume for all the talking about it and the way it’s used that it’s basically ambrosia if the gods lived in a trailer park instead of on Mount Olympus.

Americans don’t particularly like the stuff, nobody adds it to their own food, it’s just added to every food to make it more addictive.

Yeah, we aren’t buying it like maple syrup, although most maple syrup is just corn syrup with maple flavor here, it’s just shoved in to everything sweet.
Go ready the ingredients list for practically anything sold in a box here and fir some reason HFC is just in there. No reason. Its cheap as fuck.

Love your description! Incredibly fitting! It’s tasteless honey, basically. Very sweet but not much else

It’s just really cheap sugar because the US government heavily subsidizes corn farming. So naturally you get a huge surplus of corn. So much that it’s a cheaper sweetener than sugar. So cheap that it’s added to our (already cheap and subsidized) gasoline. And yes, sugar is addictive.
