Does it still taste like splenda? because that = not yummy, all over the place.

I wish I could enjoy artificial sweeteners. I really do. But they all taste the same, and that taste is not good. Not sweet either, no matter what the package claims.

it beats aspartame, but i hear you. i think i must be missing the Splenda sucks gene (although i am a tounge-roller with detached earlobes).
the best sugar-free anything i've had are the DaVinci flavored syrups. they're definitely sweet and pretty amazing. i'm not sure there's a difference in a blind taste test.

I didn't mind saccharine, and drank diet sodas regularly unti the aspartame revolution. TAB is still out there in all of its cancerous glory, should I choose to dive back in.

But of late, I've been drinking flavored seltzers if I want the bubbles. No calories, no sodium, nothing artificial but the package. They're usually flavored with fruit essences (distilled alongside essential oils or actual fruit, and carrying the yummy along).

If you've begun shopping at the QFC, they have the Canada Dry version of same in a lot of tasty flavors. If you're a Safeway fan, Talking Rain is the one for you. Don't be fooled, though. there are similar products on the shelf with nasty Splenda, or some other inverted sugars.

But for yogurt, you're in the hole no matter what. And don't get me started on Ice cream. The surest way to make it suck is to leave out sugar and sweet cream.

mmmm, calories
