Actually, not. They really do switch between sweeteners depending upon which one they can contract for the next year or so at lowest cost. North American bottlers are now tending towards "global" contracting for their ingredients. They have to sterilize their bottling lines on frequent basis and I do mean "sterilize". They might be using corn in one region and sucrose in another. This is first-hand... our company sells to them.
