One thing many folks don't like is high-fructose corn syrup in their soda.
It's too sweet, it's too industrial, and it's weird.
I'm pleased to report that Donald Trump's historic 2024 election victory is finally bringing an end to years of corn-filled Coca-Cola.
Via the BBC:
President Donald Trump says Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar in its drinks sold in the US.
...
Without explicitly confirming the recipe tweak, a Coca-Cola spokesperson said they 'appreciate President Trump's enthusiasm' and 'more details on new innovative offerings within our Coca-Cola product range will be shared soon'.
To think how close we came to having Kamala in the White House, along with four more years of corn syrup.
Instead, we got a man who understands the joy of a crisp, cold, sugar-sweetened Coke.
It isn't just Coke making the change, however. Burger chain Steak 'n Shake, which famously switched to fries cooked in beef tallow instead of seed oils earlier this year, says it will serve old-fashioned Coke again too:
Unsurprisingly, the country's corn people aren't too thrilled with the proposal:
Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode said in a statement: 'Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar would cost thousands of American food manufacturing jobs, depress farm income, and boost imports of foreign sugar, all with no nutritional benefit.'
I think we found the Kamala voter in the room! 😂
