Fucking corn syrup subsidies! Coke made with sugar tastes much better anyway. *cries*

Boylan's Sugar Cane Cola is mighty nice.

I don't think that sugar in soft drinks is very different from corn syrup as far as health goes, though. But it sure is tasty.

Where can I get Boylan's? For that matter, where I can get hot Blenheim's Ginger Ale?
I am trying to avoid entirely hydrogenated oils and corn syrups, as much for political as dietary reasons.

I've been getting the Boylans at Trader Joe's lately.

I think it's supposed to be a little better, but yeah, it is a lot tastier.
nedlog, you can read reviews of Boylan's drinks thanks to BevNET. If there aren't any in your area (we have some flavors here in NYC, but it varies from store to store), you can buy a case online through BeveragesDirect.
