HFCS-55: $13.56 per 100 lbs Per 288-oz Case Brand Flavor
Type HFCS Type Lbs. HFCS HFCS Cost Coke Classic Cola 55 %
HFCS 2.065 0.280

.280 / 288 oz * 12 oz = 1.017 cents per 12 oz can of coke.

Now you know why you can buy it for pennies to the
half gallon.

If we want to tax fattening foods, maybe we ought to impose
some major taxation on HFCS, or ban it altogether.

Well I would think the first thing to do is to stop the
obscene subsidizing of corn. It makes no sense to tax
corn syrup when there is still corn subsidation does
it? That is the major reason it is so cheap and in
everything. After that problem is taken care of then
you can talk about taxation. Getting rid of the stuff
is probably going to be harder than you would think.
Just thinking about what a huge mess this country is in
makes my head hurt. As mad as it makes me sometimes
about the ignorance of the population, I can't really
blame them. There has never been a truer statement than
"ignorance is bliss"
