RE: Sodas: Sugar or Corn syrup?
Corn syrup is cheaper than cane sugar, which helps to explain its prevalence. Also, it's a myth that corn syrup is worse for you - it contains the same amount of calories per unit sweetness and metabolizes exactly the same way.
This thread reminds me of a Coke bar in Las Vegas I've been to, there you can sample Cokes from all over the world. Quite fun to see how they all compare.
