Notes

I have seen some people say that you achieve a better flavour with a half-and-half mixture of light AND dark corn syrup. Light syrup alone may taste "too sweet" (if you believe in such a thing), while the dark provides a richer flavour.
Whatever syrup you choose to use, the consensus seems to be that it HAS to be Karo to really get this pie right.
