I always wondered why there's so much sugar in everything. All of my friends, relatives and people I know think that everything is too sweet - cookies, cake, soup, lemonade, ice cream, you name it. Am I weird? Do people actually like the sugar?

I just remember, one dad at a kids party once approached me and asked me "do you know why these cupcakes are so damn delicious? I've put TWICE the sugar that was on the recipe!" so yeah, I guess there are people who actually like it sweet... does anyone know of any data on this?
