MamaParrotHead Posted January 29, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I really enjoy it in my 1 WW point fudgesicles and my Diet Rite white grape soda, and was wondering how it tasted just straight (like in iced tea, coffee, for a bit of cinnamon toast on low carb bread, etc.). i can't do equal or sweet & low, they taste really artifical to me. thanks!

Bermuda Longtail Posted January 29, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I switched from Equal to Splenda for my coffee/tea. I've even used it (the baking brand) to bake cookies over Christmas and they were excellent. It has really become popular in restaurants as I believe it is cheaper than Equal. If you don't want to spend for a box, just grab a couple packets in a restaurant or fast food establishment and give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedbandmom Posted January 29, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I've been using Splenda in coffee and iced tea for over a year and love it!! Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdEyes Posted January 29, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I use Splenda in EVERYTHING!! I bake with it, put it in tea, coffee, etc. I buy it by the case at Sam's club..in the packets. I also buy the 5 lb bag of it at Wal-Mart (the kind that is equal to sugar in measurement). I prefer it a lot more than Equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tymaboy1 Posted January 30, 2005 #5 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I love splenda. About the only time I use regular sugar is for my sons Kool aide & when I bake (which is not often) The only reason I still use sugar for baking is cuz I heard that you don't want to use as much Splenda when baking & I am not sure what is too much or not enough.

WeirdEyes Posted January 30, 2005 #6 Share Posted January 30, 2005 They now have a blend of Splenda and sugar in 5 lb bags. That way, you can bake your regular stuff with using only 1/2 the sugar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaParrotHead Posted January 30, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted January 30, 2005 as usual, ever helpful in making decisions. i picked up a small box at the store today, i can't believe how much less expensive than equal it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted January 31, 2005 #8 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I use it all the time too. I did use Equal but heard Splenda was better for you. I think it tastes fine. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuilderMan Posted January 31, 2005 #9 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Best thing that they have ever come up with for no cal sweetners! I love it! Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrseller Posted February 10, 2005 #10 Share Posted February 10, 2005 We started using Splenda long before we started dieting. I know that sounds funny, but my husband prefers that to sugar in his coffee. Now that we are weight mindful, I use it for everything. I also get the big bags at Walmart. I just experiment with the quantity till I like the sweetness. I find that if you cook with just straight Splenda, just use 1/2 what it calls for with sugar. So far that method has worked well for me. I hope you enjoy it as much as all of us seem to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVCLAC Posted February 10, 2005 #11 Share Posted February 10, 2005 If you go to http://www.splenda.com they have alot of recipes and explain about the splenda baking. It is about time we have something that we can bake with that tastes pretty good in place of sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS3169 Posted February 10, 2005 #12 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Along the lines of Splenda, does anyone know if the cruise lines are carrying Splenda on the shiips? Specifically on Holland America? Christy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Miriam Posted February 10, 2005 #13 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Am I the only one who still uses Sweet n Low? I'm allergic to Splenda. Don't know if they've got it on the ships yet, but I'm seeing it show up in restaurants now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted February 10, 2005 #14 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Carnival cruise ships have it along with the others kinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star_dust_goddess Posted February 11, 2005 #15 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Am I the only one who still uses Sweet n Low? I'm allergic to Splenda. Don't know if they've got it on the ships yet, but I'm seeing it show up in restaurants now. Sweet n' low is the only artificial sweetener that I'll use. But then I only use artificial sweetener in iced tea. I prefer the slightly bitter after taste of sweet n' low to the twangy sweet metallic after tastes of others.
