C12 H22 O11
Dinner with the family tonight. I ordered soup for an appetizer, and got some oyster crackers with it. I read the package, because I do these things, and the ingredients included "ALL NATURAL EVAPORATED CANE JUICE." I thought about this for a moment, then figured it out. "That is a really circuitous way to avoid saying 'sugar'."

C6 H12 O11?

It's not processed quite as much. I can't imagine why they'd bother to use it in oyster crackers. I wonder if these crackers also contained partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil?

No cottonseed oil, just canola.
Okay, I had the chemical makeup of sucrose, so what's C6 H12 O11?

See also: "beet juice extract", "turbinado", "honey", "natural sweeteners", and any word ending in "-ose".
