Approximately when did HFCS replace sugar, then? If it was virtually the same time, then the conspiracy could have some validity. If it was significantly earlier, then not at all.

The switch-over happened on a bottling plant by bottling plant basis. Started in the late 1970s, was about 1/2 completed (on a product volume, not #s of plants basis) sometime in 1980 and was fully completed about six months prior to New Coke being rolled out in 1985.

I’d read that before the release of new coke the drink contained a mixture of HFCS and sugar but when coke classic was rolled back out all of the sweetener was HFCS. Can’t account for the validity of that though . . . I don’t recall the source.
