Opting for candy with natural, organic sweeteners ain't gonna singlehandedly save the polar bears, but it'll satisfy your sweet tooth while shrinking our fossil fuel consumption.
Every year, Coca-Cola produces a small amount of "Passover Coke," sweetened with sugar rather than corn syrup for people who avoid corn during Passover.
Cross to Bear
The Bite
We've come to accept our addiction to gummy candies - meaning we know where to get the goods. Surf Sweets' habit-forming gummies also happen to deliver 100% of your vitamin C needs (hello, breakfast). From worms to sugar-dusted Gummy Swirls, you get the classic fruity flavors, without the corn syrup - which typically comes from uberfertilized or genetically modified corn. Instead, everything's sweetened with less-processed organic cane juice or grape juice, which is not only healthier than your average (gummy) bear but requires less energy to produce. Hallelujah, sweet salivation!
