In a large saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, blend in butter.

Remove from heat and quickly stir in baking soda. Mix well. Pour onto 2 buttered baking sheets or jelly. As the candy cools, stretch it out thinner by lifting and pulling at edges with forks. Loosen from pans as soon as possible and turn over. Break hardened candy up and store in an air tight container.
