Corn syrup is not just cheaper than sugar, it's sweeter and easier to mix. In acidic soft drinks and tomato products, sugar hydrolyzes, corn syrup doesn't. In jams and jellies, sugar crystallizes, corn syrup doesn't. Moisture destablizes products made with sugar and lack of moisture causes them to dry up. Not so corn syrup. Lots of reasons for industrial food products to contain corn syrup, not just cheapness. Mostly longer shelf life. Good for their bottom line, not good for your health. Except for pecan pie, there's pretty much nothing a home cook will put corn syrup in.
