Blue Bell’s use of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)

Here’s part of the Wikipedia article on HFCS:

“Some Americans seek out Mexican Coca-Cola because they prefer the taste compared to Coca-Cola in the U.S. which is made with HFCS. Kosher for Passover Coca-Cola sold in the U.S. around the Jewish holiday also uses sucrose rather than HFCS and is also highly sought after by people who prefer the original taste.”

The main reason that HFCS is cheaper than sucrose is because of the cheapness and price stability of corn.

I hope Blue Bell’s new formulation tastes as good as the old one.

There is a conspiracy theory that says that "New Coke" was introduced so that Coca-Cola could replace the sugar with HFCS, and that New Coke was so bad, that when they brought back "Classic" Coke with the HFCS, nobody could tell the difference, they were just glad "New Coke" was gone.
