I remember when Snapple was sold (I believe to Quaker Oats) and they did make some changes, going from sugar to HFCS, and the flavor changed. I stopped drinking Snapple because it just wasn't as good as it was in the past.

I may give it another try, if I can find it at a convenience store - So far, I haven't found it at the local Quik Trips.

I saw a commercial recently that said they are back to real sugar in Snapple - but, as the article states - they will be taxed too.

Of course, I’m allergic to Aspertame, so I will be oppressed.

HFCS is evil, evil I tell ya!!

That stuff is literally in EVERYTHING (if you don’t believe me, check the ingredients on everything you buy next time at the grocery store and you’ll be horrified and amazed) and is O WHAT A SURPRISE is government sanctioned to be added to everything...guess what? Highly addictive, raises cholesterol levels, causes migraines, weight gain, etc. the list goes on and on. Plain old sugar is much better for you than that HFCS crap! But oooooooohhh, it tastes sooooo good, give me more!!
>:-(
Some companies have realized that there is a market out there for people who WON’T buy the HFCS added stuff, and slowly but surely are making products for us—Pepperidge Farm products for the most part are HFCS-free, but it still sneaks in sometimes, so you have to be very vigilant.

Nothing makes me angrier than to see those pro-HFCS commercials on tv proclaiming arrogantly that it causes no harm IN MODERATION—again, check as many products at the grocery store as you have time for next time you go, it’s in practically EVERYTHING—but the HFCS lobby is really pushing this stuff hard...do a google search and their website pops up first ‘debunking’ all the bad things about it.

Yeah, right. After dealing with multiple health issues over the years, then having them disappear when I stopped eating and drinking things with HFCS in it—just anecdotal but I’m a believer! Sugar and honey are just fine for me and my family!

[/rant off, sorry!]
