Love it! It's just a measure of how much you've influenced me that that would probably bother me, too. Funny. This post is just pure Nathan! Love it!

This is purely speculation, but I highly doubt that there's any chance your Squirt has any real sugar in it. H. f. corn syrup has been getting a lot of negative attention over the past few years, so it's not surprising that big companies would try to trick you in to thinking there might be real sugar sweetening your drink assuming some FDA loophole allows it. I'm really surprised that this is OK though. These are two completely separate ingredients...shouldn't it be required that they report exactly what's in there? I've seen this in ingredients lists too: "may contain one or more of the following ingredients". How long before packages simply point us to a webpage with a list of every ingredient known to humankind? Disturbing.
