It is the G_D Blessed Corn Syrup.

I am allergic to it, hence, I never eat them.

ADM is proof that our government is corrupt. They sell corn syrup, and made sugar more expensive, by buying congressmen. So now no sugar is imported, Pepsi et al use corn.

Because congress is for sale.

Fah, what free country?

my fav donuts are the ones we used to get at bodners
on hampton blvd in norfolk. they would cook ‘em up
late night/early morning. we’d stop by on our way back
to the dorms and get them so fresh and hot you could
barely hold them in your hands. absolutely melt in your
mouth spectacular!

i was sooooooo sad to see it was gone. :(

Corn syrup is a very cheap sweetener that never really competed with sugar. High fructose corn syrup is very different than corn syrup and was created because our government forces domestic manufacturers to pay two to three times more for sugar than the world price to protect a bunch of inefficient, but politically powerful, cane and beet farmers.

It's not ADM's fault -- although many other things are. This one is about Congress protecting a small number of farmers at the expense of all consumers.
