Since it wouldn't appear that HFCS was any cheaper to produce than plain corn syrup--and may even be more expensive to produce, since the process takes longer--the Karo folks must have been catering to what they perceived as people's preference for greater sweetness.

And if that is any indication of how they do business, they must be a great outfit! Aldi is a comglomerate. They run their own stores, which tend towards warehouse-vibe retail of food and some consumer items, the latter priced low as loss leaders. They're about on the same level as a Sam's Club in America, but with a far smaller inventory. The stores tend to be the size of a drugstore in America, not a supermarket. As I understand it, they are planning to move into America, and Wal-Mart's uneasy about that, because Aldi turns a higher profit in Europe than Wal-Mart does in America, but while incurring fewer bad vibes from the public. Probably a force to watch if you play the stock market. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

Seeing as this is a website dedicated to the practitioners of a spiritual group with a charismatic leader, I would suggest to you that Kool-Aid has quite a different connotation from the one you suggest... Have you tried Trader Joe's new kool-aid? That's what it tastes like but mostly sweetened with grape juice though there is still some corn syrup in it. A bit expensive at 99 cents a bottle. I try to stay away from anything with corn syrup as it tends to make me sick. Funnily, though, as a kid my favourite syrup was corn syrup for my pancakes. I wonder if that was the same as what they use to sweeten everything today...
