“Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar doesn’t make sense,” said Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode. "Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar would cost thousands of American food manufacturing jobs, depress farm income, and boost imports of foreign sugar, all with no nutritional benefit.”
Corn farmers heavily voted for Trump, but according to them they’re weak and stupid anyway, so now we just wait for the cost of Coke to jump due to importing sugar. ‘Course, he never said anything about Pepsi, so people just flock to the much cheaper Pepsi products and Coke goes under! Brilliant!
Jump? Have you bought soda recently in the store? I haven’t in years until my wife wanted some… Over 3 bucks for a 2 liter, and a 12 pack is over 10 bucks…
Last time I looked it was about 2 bucks for a 2 liter… And that upset me because I remember when that shit was less than a dollar and I’m not even that old…
Yup, I remember when 20oz bottles were $.69 and they gave out free ones with a cap. I mean, there was gambling involved in the advertising, but shit, even back then, that price was nothing. These days, even with my well paying job, a coke is 15 minutes worth of work.
Well, it’ll probably be a “new” version of coke with cane sugar instead of HFCS. New is in quotes because they already sell that product. They’ll take the existing product, call it Trump Coke, or something, and sell it for four times the price.

Pepsi already has a cane sugar variant they sell at the same price.

Anyway
I just get the supermarkets own brand of it. I’m mixing it with enough rum that you can’t tell the difference.
