No, Sean. That's the MSG. The Corn Syrup is to make us too fat and lazy to fight back.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Why oh why must people put corn syrup in every damn thing?
It's how they institute the mind control. Plus, of course, agribusiness makes brazilians off the crap.
(And you have my sympathies -- I'm trying to eliminate HFCS again this year, because I couldn't manage it last year. Grr.)

Down with corn syrup, up with cane sugar.

No, Sean. That's the MSG. The Corn Syrup is to make us too fat and lazy to fight back.
Actually, the corn syrup was developed as a backup to the MSG because people were just too aware of it, so it's not as pervasive (outside of Chinese fast food). The fattening and lazifying effects are just a bonus side-effect.
Plus? I have the deadly poke of amych on my side.
