Why do you steal the Splenda packets?

Here in tea season I try to keep sweetener (and tea bags) with me. I like stevia, and buy it, but will in a pinch take two or three yellow packets. I'll use blue if there's no yellow, and the pink isn't fit to eat, IMO.

Now that little ketchup bottle? Would be in my purse. If I take something off a restaurant table, I bump up the tip to compensate. Flawed logic, I know. But don't leave cute stuff in front of me and think I will resist it.

Open yourself to possibility and possibility will present itself.

i went through my college years never buying salt and pepper cuz i used to take the actual shakers from restaurants when needed (along with sugar/ketchup/vinegear & mustard). i call that condiment survival methods.

I'm the opposite, I buy it in bulk at costco and carry it in my purse for when/if I need it. I have been known to take hotel shampoo and conditioner, but other than that, I don't have sticky fingers

Personal size shampoos and such at a hotel are figured into the cost of your stay so I always take those with me as well. (If they are the kind I like)

As far as taking more Splenda (or free condiments) I don't do that because at that point it's a "community" item and the intent is for you to only take what you need at the moment. No judgement on anyone who does because it all comes out in the wash I guess.

Ugh!!!!!!!!!!! Not me! I prefer Truvia! I only use Splenda for baking (I just made a sweet potato pie w/ splenda and protein powder)....

If I was using packets, I'd be using 100! LOL!, I'm NOT a fan of splenda...I'm a Truvia gal through and through....

Recipe:

Milk/Chai

1 cup skim or 1 % Milk
1-3 Truvia packets (Your desired sweetness)
Chai Tea bag.

Boil the milk in the microwave, put in a cup with the truvia and add Chai tea bag (I prefer Tazo OR Two Leaves and a Bud, Chai tea!) let steep for 8-15 minutes....(Mix here and there) remove tea bag.....YUMMOLA, and you get some protein! This is how they make Chai beverage in India

Warmly,
