Yes, actually, according to Wikipedia, most soft drinks made in the USA now use corn syrup in lieu of sugar. So that makes perfect sense. I actually prefer diet myself. I started drinking it because my mom's a diabetic, and whenever I went to visit her, that's all she had. And once you get used to the taste, regular Coke tastes too sweet. But, every now and then.... I get the Jones for a real one!! :P0.
