Donald Trump expressed excitement about Coca-Cola potentially switching to REAL Cane Sugar in the U.S., claiming credit for this change in a Truth Social post. Despite his enthusiasm, Coca-Cola did not confirm his claim, instead responding with a non-committal statement that praised his enthusiasm, before later defending its use of corn syrup and clarifying the situation. Trump's announcement appeared as an attempt to divert attention from the swirling Jeffrey Epstein files scandal, but this strategy seemingly did not resonate with his MAGA supporters.

Corn syrup increases the shelf life of foods because its high sugar content hinders microbial growth, ensuring Rice Krispies treats stay fresh longer without drying out.
