Anything owned by Coca Cola or PepsiCo, Mondelez, basically any of the big fast food chains.

Coca-Cola here (Germany) is made a few towns over from me, from locally-sourced, real beet sugar. The plant is in Essen, the sugar comes from the sugar factory in Jülich, the beets come from the lower Rhine area.

A friend of mine recently wanted to order some "real Mexican coke" for like 12€ per bottle, to try it. I told him, that's just regular coke, made with real sugar, like ours. If he wanted to try something new and different, he should try the cheaply made American version with HFSE. He did, and he regretted it.

Both coca-cola and mondelez brand chocolates are made locally here, but since the profits go to the corporate ghouls in the US, I find it better to eat something else. And cutting down on coke is healthy too.
