I don’t know much about corn syrup, but I assume for all the talking about it and the way it’s used that it’s basically ambrosia if the gods lived in a trailer park instead of on Mount Olympus.

Love your description! Incredibly fitting! It’s tasteless honey, basically. Very sweet but not much else

Americans don’t particularly like the stuff, nobody adds it to their own food, it’s just added to every food to make it more addictive.

It’s just really cheap sugar because the US government heavily subsidizes corn farming. So naturally you get a huge surplus of corn. So much that it’s a cheaper sweetener than sugar. So cheap that it’s added to our (already cheap and subsidized) gasoline. And yes, sugar is addictive.
