>The corn syrup thing is a US-only thing, isn't it?

No, corn syrup is used in food and drinks all over the world.

Personally, I have nothing against corn syrup so long as the sweetness actually tastes nice and appropriate for what I'm consuming.

Corn syrup is also a lot better than artificial sweeteners which all taste like hot garbage and make me literally ill.

The United States accounts for approximately 55 percent of the global consumption of high-fructose corn syrup.

So what about the remaining 45%?

What's the consumption rate for RoW - per capita - compared to the US?

Does it matter? So long as that (or any non-US) number is larger than zero the argument that "corn syrup is US-only" is patently false.

What I meant was "putting corn syrup in most food as the preferred sweetener" is a US-only thing, not "only the US uses corn syrup".
