Even HEB (grocery in TX) has come out with store brand soda made with cane sugar. Dr. Pepper is really good when made with cane sugar. Tastes like when I was growing up. Haven't tried Coke and Pepsi, but am curious now.

To those who haven't seen it in their stores, this is the first time I've seen it, but I noticed the picture I got off the web has a 2010 date on it. So I guess others have had it before I got it.
And no, it's not a switch back. They offer both kinds in the 12-can case, but only the corn syrup kind in their bottles.
I'd love to see it in glass bottles again - except that now even glass isn't pure. It can have coatings that may not be so good for us.

I was addicted to Pepsi and was drinking at least a liter a day. Gave it up on January 1 and lost 20 lbs. Now if I take a sip of it its just so sweet. Took a lot of will power to get off but now I am drinking water with lemon.

Sounds like a step in the right direction.
Now when they get to sweetening sodas with Stevia, that's the time I'll really stock up. I love Pepsi but am trying to quit it..must be something in it to make me addicted.
And yes, I have heard that if you want to GAIN weight, drink diet sodas!!!!!! I believe the thinking behind this is that the artificial sweetener makes your body expect food, and when it isn't there, it makes you hungry to eat the food your body expects and now wants.

This is off subject but about another use for corn. A little factoid about corn and ethinol. The amount of corn it takes to fill a gas tank one time with E-fuel can feed one person for a year. This doesn't seem rational to me. Corn should be for feeding people!
