Ended up emailing propel saying they ruined a great product and I was stuck with a case of it, also added for them not to contact me. They ended up contacting me anyway and sending $40 of full value coupons to me. I still refused to give them any money until today....<br /><br />Propel was on sale for a case and I decided to check the ingredients for old time sake. What is this... the second ingredient is now SUGAR? Yep that is right. Maybe they took my advice? Anyways, I bought the case and it does tastes similar to how it used to, prior to the whole HFCS stint that ruined the taste. Sales must've gone down drastically or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266242870866513690.post-66922594972747941192009-04-30T08:15:00.000-07:002009-04-30T08:15:00.000-07:00I am upset as well about HFCS but what upsets me m...I am upset as well about HFCS but what upsets me more is that in the bottle I am now drinking all the vitamins I relied on to be there are gone except for Vit E!!! Where did the other vitamins go and why? This is the black cherry version.

For those of you that mentioned the other ingredients in Propel, I have to say that I have nothing but respect for those of you that choose to avoid them. I have conflicting feelings on artificial sweeteners and absolutely understand why people avoid them, but really, the rest of the ingredients don't bother me so much. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for all of the comments, as always! It's interesting to hear everyone's thoughts on the subject - even when different from mine.cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258482044838974992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266242870866513690.post-15345461315306549022009-03-14T07:36:00.000-07:002009-03-14T07:36:00.000-07:00Look at the rest of that label!

Bummer!<BR/>(You may or may NOT notice, I've lost the diet Coke avatar. As of Tuesday, I no longer drink soda of any kind. Working on going HFCS-free seems to be leading to a shift in many of our eating habits.
