"Corn syrup" still sounds like something that would taste of wheat. I
was talking to someone on a talker about this today, but they said they hadn't
found anything in the UK yet that included it, so I have no reference
whatsoever for what it is, apart from the fact I'm told it's sugary.

(apparently some countries put it in cola).

(pedantry: There *are* applications where bad programming could kill. I
don't think any of us work in them, but I'm pretty sure they exist.)
