Corn syrup is a fraction of the sweetness of sucrose sugar. Corn syrup can be 98% glucose. Glucose is just a little less sweet than sucrose.
So to get something sweet we eat or drink many times the amount of corn syrup than we would of sugar.
What? Corn syrup is used because it's sweet and cheap. Your statement above makes no sense.
High fructose corn syrup is high on calories but low on sweetness.
All carbs offer 4 calories per gram. High fructose corn syrup is desired by industry because it's cheaper than sucrose and offers a relatively same sweetness as sucrose.

Until you subtract the taxpayer subsidies courtesy of the corn lobby.

I agree with DemforBush, stuff made with corn syrup just doesn’t taste as sweet to me as stuff made with sugar. But since there is a question on that, I’ll have to do more research — by eating and drinking some more stuff made with both.
