As a European I am amazed at the American foods that have corn syrup in. A friend just mentioned it was in almost all the Horseradish sauce at her local supermarket!
It seems to be a pointless ingredient added to everything just to increase the carb and calorie content... I remember another American friend saying they really did add it for no other reason than to use it up, as they were so heavily subsidised to produce it.
