High Fructose Corn Syrup is a sugar. It is much sweeter than sugar so it takes less in each can to give the soda its sweetness. Using less per serving makes it more attractive to bottlers and HFS is not subject to the whims of the world sugar markets.
If you remember when Coke brought out New Coke and then brought "old" Coke back as Coke Classic? The new "old" Coke used sugar and/or HFS and some of us thought it did not taste the same. True "old" Coke only used sugar, never HFS. There are still some places, like Mexico, where you can still buy a Coke made with sugar and not HFS.
If you look at just about any bottle of anything in the AM PM it contains HFS. Not just sodas but sports drinks, teas, even iced coffee has it. And lots of unneeded calories.
