High Fructose Corn Syrup... I know you are all just dying to find out what I have to say about Britney's new album and concert, but that will just have to wait (the verdict is still out even though, we all know where I will side)...

And that my friends is what a gusher is ... liquid gummy candy. So, instead of filling stockings with traditional candy, why not fill them with something that has some fruit (pears from concentrate and grape juice from concentrate). I promise you won't be disappointed.
