Corn syrup is mostly US thing.
I still encounter it as well as slightly-different yet similar substance names in many products ingredients lists in Europe [too] often.

Re: Safety Gate: the EU rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products
#32Found in a thrift store recently: An AC cord, 3-pin (earthed) plugs on both ends, with 2-conductor wiring in between. Spotted 'cause cable was damaged. Even the cable itself carried markings like "3x 0.75mm^2" despite having 2 conductors in it. This was a one-piece cable (with 'non-replaceable' plugs), so came like that out of the factory. Covered in all the usual certification / safety markings. Yes... Chinese made.…

#33Is this a new frontend to Rapex? Did they rename Rapex? Because consumer safety warnings (often toys with swallowing/strangulating hazards) have been available on some EU web site for years (decades, probably).
Yeah they changed the name in 2019 (DECISION (EU) 2019/417), but it has existed since 2001. The name change was "For external communication reasons", probably due to it being read as "rape-x"
Not to be confused with RapeX:

#34Earlier quoted context omitted.
> An AC cord, 3-pin (earthed) plugs on both ends You mean it had PLUGS on both end? That's not a cable, that's a murder attempt!
Plugs? Sure, with one end female and one end male. I assume you’re thinking of male on both ends (which, yes, should not be sold), but that’s not necessarily the case.
A female plug is referred to as a socket; any other case is just using the wrong terms.
