Corn Syrup Free Pepsi Coming

February 18, 2009

(Via Daring Fireball) This April, Pepsi and Mountain View will arrive in “Throwback” versions formulated with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

I couldn’t care less about soda, but this is a clear sign tht American culture is changing — even when Americans choose to eat total crap, they increasingly want it to be good crap.

No way on earth would this product have ever seen the light of day had it not been for The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Thanks to that book, Americans are now aware that everything from their burgers to their sodas to their gasoline is significantly based on mountains and mountains of corn. Link.
