I know what you mean about the difference between HFCS and real sugar. Last time I went to NYC, my friends and I would stop in the little hispanic-run convenience stores to get Coke bottled in Mexico, cause it was made with real sugar and still came in glass bottles, and it was SO much better than the kind we were used to. I also like the Jones sodas, especially their cream soda... mmmm...
I did not realise you could get cream soda in the US I thought that was a British thing - well you learn something everyday.
