Is your trusted friend a bagger or a stocker at the supermarket?

Have you looked at any labels?

I needed to get some stuff at the store. I spent five minutes looking
at the jarred pasta sauces. I looked at about ten different kinds
(three different brands). Not one had sugar or any variation of it as
the first or second ingredient. One had no sugar at all. Two had corn
syrup as their third ingredient. I think that makes you a liar.
