“But worth the money. It seems almost TOO sweet in the beginning, but like anything, when you get used to it, it is great great great. I am so happy to have Splenda and not have to choose from the other sweeteners. My whole family gave up regular sugar when I was preparing for WLS. Thank goodness for Splenda, I love it!!”

“If they would lower the price of Splenda then I would be able to give much higher ratings. I can buy a lot more sugar for the same price as I can buy 1 box of splenda and I have to use double or triple the amount of splenda to sugar. I can also taste the difference. Splenda has a crisper taste, which isn't nessecarily a good thing.”

“What would I do without it? I'm diabetic and overweight. This has been a blessing when I need that sweet fix (tea, coolaide,soft drinks w/splenda, etc.) It tastes 100x better than yuck-n-low (u know, that pink pack). MCDONALDS has it and when you ask for it at the drive-thru for your tea or coffee, they usually give a huge handful of the little individual packs. Sometimes they give enough packs that last me 2-3 days worth of the stuff.”

“Right after surgery this was WAY too sweet for me! GAG! After awhile though it becomes tolerable. Those with sweet toothes will enjoy this sugar-substitute. Those of us who aren't big into sweets, this will help when the occasion arises that you want something sweet. ”

“I can't use Aspartame because I get migraines afterwar. This new substitute tastes so good that I don't feel deprived at all. My husband HATES anything sugar-free, but loves this new product. As a result, I save $ by not having to buy separate products for him. So far, I haven't experienced any adverse reactions to Splenda. It's exciting to see that companies are responding to the needs of the sugar-free comsumers by offering better products. ”
