Probably a different type of sugar too.

Yeah, likely so. Back then it was almost certainty sucrose (cane sugar), today it'll be likely fructose (from maize) or a fructose/sucrose combo. Weight for weight fructose is considerably sweeter than sucrose.

Also where I am (Australia) it's always sucrose (unless fully imported) because of the large cane sugar industry in Queensland.
