Good tomatoes are sweet, in their own tomato-y way, but they're not just sugar; there's acidity too. Grape tomatoes are gross.
and WHY does corn taste like bloody candy??? This drives me insane. I grew up with fresh corn, all summer long, every year. I know what "fresh sweet corn" tastes like, and it is NOT candy. The corn that you get now, frozen, is, to me, unedibly sweet. Real corn never tasted like that.

Even the corn I manage to snag at the grocery, still in their jackets, is abominably sweet. Bleaaachk. D*mmit, if I want candy or sugar, I'll buy candy or sugar. Put the bloody corn back into corn, pls.
