I've become one of those people who carries Splenda around in their pockets/bags

[xfer]

...just like my mother and sister.

It's seriously so much better than even Equal!

Right after I began carrying Splenda packets in my manbag, I noticed that Starbucks has begun offering it on their version of the "fixins bar".

 

[mindspell]

I don't trust any low calorie sweetner, after the evil that is aspartame I just don't consume any of the stuff or equivalent.

You're like a grandma who won't use a DVD player because she remembers being zapped by faulty wiring in a phonograph in 1948.

 

[mindspell]

I have no indication that Splenda is any better than aspartame. Derived from sugar can mean a lot of things. When I eat sugar I eat real sugar.

Besides, why would I add sugar to anything when on the go?

 

[minxnim]

you eat 'real' sugar meaning the white, highly processed, chemically depleted and calcitrated form of sugar which is, in and of itself a sugar derivative?

 

[xfer]

I add it to coffee and such when I'm in restaurants.

 

[Autumn Falls]

Artificial sweetener> sugar IMO.

P.S. I definitely need to try Splenda and compare.

i used to use equal all the time, but splenda really has NONE of that fake-sugar taste to it. it's really weird!

i like the fake sugars not just because of the 0 calories, but because it doesn't make your mouth feel all scummy and sticky and coated inside. (although the coffee does that just fine)

Nope, I use organic brown sugar as much as I can. Then again I don't use much sugar anyway. I ain't no pastry chef...

Alex: Sugar in coffee is yucky!

 

[xfer]

well, to the extent that ANY coffee is yucky, yeah. i accidentally sipped my sugar- and splenda-less coffee this morning before adding, and i was reminded how fucking disgusting coffee is without lots of sweetener and creamer to kill its taste.

 

[TheNewChupe]

you know, i did not realize there were people who habitually carry sweetener in fanny packs.

i'll watch out for them.

 

[minxnim]

brown sugar is technically white sugar with molasses over it. unless you mean raw sugar.

 

[mindspell]

I meant raw sugar

Xfer: I like my coffee black and strong. Espresso is the shit!

 

[xfer]

I think your English isn't quite right. subtract "the".

 

[xfer]

note that i could have made a gay joke there about you liking your men the same way but i opted to take the high road.

 

[mindspell]

Yet you found a way to show your low intentions for all to see. So much for the high road...

 

[xfer]

just like you found a way to show your BUTT!!! ha ha ha
