High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover

Posted by samzenpus on from the same-great-taste dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With its sweetener linked to obesity, some cancers and diabetes, the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) doesn't want you to think 'fructose' when you see high fructose corn syrup in your soda, ketchup or pickles. Instead, the AP reports, the CRA submitted an application to the FDA, hoping to change the name of their top-selling product to 'corn sugar.'"

    What I find funny is that I often "milk" my penis for man "juice".

    I think we gave up on consistency in our language a long time ago. It was inconvenient for the marketers and comedians.

    What's in a name? If they change the name to "cornhole sugar," I'll lick that shit up all day long.

    I can't beleive people still view /. with the oldest comments at the top!

    Do it the other way round and you can ignore the first posters, ignore the obvious posts, ignore the karma backslapers...

    The posting gems always come last, like this one :p
