If Snapple ice tea is "made from the best stuff on earth", why does it contain high fructose corn syrup?

Question

High fructose corn syrup is one of the worst things on earth, a cheap, unhealthy sugar substitute, right or am I missing something?

Answer 1

Every soft drink is made has that ingredient. Its to make it taste better. Surely, they dont just use plain sugar.

Answer 2

cause they're morons.

Answer 3

Call it marketing.

Also, it is not a guarantee it is just a statement (which is subjective) and so it can be used as part of their advertisement.  Therefore they can say "made from the best stuff on earth".

Answer 4

Marketing!  You should never take claims made by maufacturers at face value, always read the ingredients list!

On a side note, why does everything in the US contain high fructose corn syrup???  Whatever happened to sugar?

Answer 5

Aha, but it's the best scientifically produced fructose corn syrup that pennies can buy !!!

Answer 6

Because High Fructose Corn Syrup IS one of the best things on earth. Speak for yourself and yourself alone, ya big dummy!
