I got pissed off at Jones a few weeks ago - I try to avoid all soda that has HFCS in it. And I had been buying Jones, because it advertises Real Cane Sugar on its boxes. I happened to run my eye over the ingredients label and it said "inverted cane sugar". Having no idea what that was I looked it up - they basically take Cane sugar, and muck with its chemical composition and turn it into something just like HFCS.

*sigh* - Now I am looking for Boylans, and Izzie wherever I can find them.

Given the options of Barqs or Sprecher, well, they both contain HFCS so I'll support Sprecher instead.

re: Jones
That's what I get for reading ingredients but not doing research into the unfamiliar ones.

I have to admit that the preference was from way back when I was drinking soda regularly and not paying attention to HFCS. I just liked the Sprecher better. Now I probably wouldn't drink either.

That's a real let down; I would have thought Sprecher's was real enough to have sugar.

Don't need those calories anyway.

It wouldn't surprise me if they announced that HFCS is people!
