SweetSurprise.com isn't nearly as titillating a Web site as the name might suggest. It's part of an effort by the Corn Refiners Association to promote high-fructose corn syrup. Health professionals have derided the stuff for years as being no healthier—or perhaps even more unhealthy—than cane-based sugar. Personally, I think any similarity to sugar is a selling point, but I had two Snickers and a Jolt for breakfast, so I'm hardly one to judge. The site features a commercial, also airing nationally, set at a kids' birthday party.
