That's your flavor difference. I say a dash of real vanilla in a homemade simple syrup is the way to go on this, personally. I was watching a show the other day about how Dr Pepper is made and it used to be made with real sugar, but has for some time now been made from high fructose corn syrup. The manufacturer said they did taste tests and found that people couldn't tell the difference between that made with sugar and that made with corn syrup. But the vanilla. Hmmmm. May have to try that.
