Strangely it did not happen in France[1], we do not use as much corn sub-products in our agriculture and food, I think it's mainly used for feeding our poultry; still a bad idea as corn is not really adapted to our climate (not enough tropical rain I suppose as corn is a tropical plant coming from Mexico), most of the farmers crying when there are water restrictions are corn farmers in France.
Biggest french region cultivating corn is Les Landes which was a big swamp before the 18/19th century, maybe because it's more adapted to corn as it rains often (oceanic climate) but is hotter than Brittany.

- distances 7y agoI don't think it is in Europe? The recipes vary a bit according to tastes, so I'd assume sugar is from beet in European soft drinks. Wouldn't make much sense to import syrup for such a bulk product.
