It is mind boggling the shit that you can pick up off the shelf, read the ingredient list of, and find HFCS.
Fucking bread. Goddamn it.

american bread is legally cake in other countries due to how much sugar is in it.
That's fucking hilarious. A whole country of cake eaters.
It is why Subway will always be the cake bread place in my head, great case with simple reasoning.
I also love how it was not due to food quality laws but tax that caught them, no VAT on simple food stuff but VAT applies to confections like candy and cake. So what is the legal difference between cake and bread? The sugar content, and the fact subway instead of changing their bread fought that in court is just peak ~~subway~~ cake bread to me.
