It's a great sweetener.

And it adds massive weight to the product so the manufacturer and/or middle man makes a lot more money.

Anyone who does this is scum and deserves to spend the rest of their lives in jail.

Jesus. I thought you were kidding at first. What the actual fuck?

"Let's add poison so we can make it weigh a tiny bit more" is something I didn't have on my corporate greed bingo card.

They're just borrowing by example from drug cutters!
