twinkies

corn syrup in the twinkies (and all snacks like that), it's bad for you but the major corporations don't care because it's cheaper than real sugar

but thats fact, not a conspiracy.

now a conspiracy might be able to tie into those "high fructose corn syrup" commercials that you see all over the commercials lately.... who's behind it and why are these 2 powers competing? simple corporation battles... i think not..

to most people it's a conspiracy... go to wal-mart and tell one person you see purchasing twinkies about high fructose corn syrup and they'll look at you like you're retarded (facts be damned)

if you want more of a conspiracy that's corn-syrup related here ya go: coke used to be made with pure sugar, coca cola wanted to move to corn syrup but they knew no one would go for it unless they snuck it in so they created "new coke" which was purposefully designed to taste like shit and bomb in the marketplace. once everyone hated "new coke" they reintroduced "original coke" except this time with corn syrup! people were so happy to have the old coke back they didn't complain about the corn syrup switch (coca cola's evil plan worked).
