Which one does the term “high fructose corn syrup” conventionally refer to?

Depends on what you're making. Soft drinks, HFCS 55, baked goods, most other foods, HFCS 42.

And I’ll bet HFCS 55 — aka high fructose corn syrup — has more fructose than regular sugar.

Yes, just as HFCS 42 has less.

Okay, so the corn syrup kids are guzzling in soft drinks has more fructose.

It would be interesting to know people’s overall consumption of HFCS 42 versus HFCS 55.
