Coke and Pepsi seem to have changed for the worse in this area as well, I think they have changed the sugar to corn syrup or something like it. Tastes like crap. I guess they did not think anyone would notice.

I think they replaced the sugar with corn syrup about 20 or 25 years ago. :rolleyes: When's the last time you had a soda?

Heinze ketchup seems different as well, sweeter?
I don't eat enough ketchup to notice. My primary use for ketchup is to make bbq sauce, which gets sugar added anyway, so I probably wouldn't notice a slight change in sweetness.
