Awhile back you were encouraging me to try Splenda. Well, last week
when I went to Walmart for my monthly grocery shopping, I noticed
Walmart had its own version of Splenda at a much lower price. So I
thought that is like a sign that it is time to try it. And, instead of
buying a small portion for the trial, I bought a big bag like the
saving type of shopper I am! ;-)

When I tried Splenda a couple years ago at a friend's house, I
remembered she used an oddball type of coffee. So I figured that might
be why it tasted so bad to me. So I tried it in my own coffee. It is
not quite the same taste as sugar; but quite acceptable. I really
enjoy my coffee and don't want it messed up. So I was pleased.

Then I tried it in iced tea. and a funny thing happened. You are
supposed to measure it the same as sugar, which I did; but in tea it
is too sweet! So I have to use only half as much as I used sugar.
Maybe because tea isn't as bitter as coffee? Although I noticed the
spoon heaps up higher with fluffy sucralose than it does with sugar;
so that I may have gotten more in than I thought.

Anyway, thanks for encouraging me to try it.
