The label “old-fashioned” was bound to raise red flags for many Vermonters, who will tell you it is neither old-fashioned nor maple syrup (corn syrup does not come from trees).

Katie Zezima, NYTimes “Sign Says IHOP, but Syrup Says Vermont”

The emphasis is mine.  Anyone see that lame ass commercial where the guy and girl are in a park and the girl is eating a popsicle made from corn syrup.  And he says, “I don’t want one, it’s made from corn syrup, and corn syrup is…” and she says “made from corn and healthy in moderation” blah blah blah?  I hate that commercial.

King Corn, stay off my TV!
