Totally subjective matter, If you think it tastes better that's you, this is the first time someone tell me that maple flavored corn syrup tastes better than real maple syrup, so completely subjective matter, second thing, don't make a fallacy of my statement, something being unhealthy doesn't mean "clean or dirty", all the sugars in excess are bad, me saying that Corn Syrup is unhealthy has nothing to do with religious dogmas or anything like that, you obviously are free to eat and also do with your body what you wish so if you think that HFCS taste better than real maple syrup then enjoy it.

I've had plenty of both and the corn syrup is so sweet. It's like candy. Real maple syrup tastes like tree sap.

The environment in which we have grown has conditioned us in several ways, in different degree from people to people, in your case your taste is conditioned to compare the sweets with candies' sweetness, which is very very high, you will understand what I'm saying with this example, if you're the kind of people that like his food a little spicy but then eat something from places that use huge amount of peppers and other hot spices, you maybe wouldn't be able to eat those foods but people from those places that eat the food you consider tasty and spicy will immediately look into Hillary's purse for the hot sauce bottle cause for them that food is bland. All excess are bad -sweets, spices, etc- but if we just focus on taste in my case a sweet as sweet as candy is too much, not saying I dislike candies, but there are things for my taste that don't need to have a generic taste like just sugar with a little bit of "X" -maple in this case- but a nice taste of "X" with the right doze of sweet.

Certainly. Sweet doesn't always mean good. And I do enjoy the unique taste of maple. My brother hates it. So I get maple bacon and sausage sometimes because I know he won't eat any of it.

me saying that Corn Syrup is unhealthy

You're incorrect. It's as good as any other sugar and sugar keeps you from dying.

and yes, I think you believe in that for religious reasons and nothing else.

Corn syrup and HFCS aren't the same thing because HFCS got all sorts of lobbyists to get gov't definitions changed so we truly don't know WTF is really in HCFS. It's like how "natural flavor" isn't.
