To you and siblings, true. That speaks to a need to stop misleading consumers with marketing terms that don't mean what they mean. I'm speaking more from my personal taste than from public health - I just don't want my food to be so sweet. The industry has jacked up sugar and salt content, in all its forms, to where what the mass market demands is well outside my taste.
(Another example - my local coffeehouse has a half-sweet latte drink which is itself almost too sweet. I'm guessing the full-sweetness version makes room for more cane syrup by taking out actual coffee.)
