Look for it with the sugars (usually top shelf) under the name 'Glucose Syrup'.There is an Australian brand 'Queen' with a bright red and yellow label.

Asian food stores often have it - used in Korean cooking a lot apparently! I get it from a Kosco -cheaper than in the supermarket.

I'll give the last word to Wiki :)
"The more general term glucose syrup is often used synonymously with corn syrup, since glucose syrup is in the United States most commonly made from corn starch. Technically, glucose syrup is any liquid starch hydrolysate of mono-, di-, and higher-saccharides and can be made from any source of starch; wheat, tapioca and potatoes are the most common other sources."

Ohhhhh. darn it - I should've googled that I guess. I had some in the cupboard after all. but I did find corn syrup after heading into 4 shops. I found it!
