I'm wierd - I HAVE to use the pink stuff in my iced tea - NOTHING else will make it sweet, not even equal or real sugar (unless i use a TON).
I use Splenda for everything else - I really love the way it tastes in coffee and on cereal. I used it tonight to put on smashed fresh strawberries - it tastes (to me) just like sugar sweetened strawberries!! When I put them over low fat vanilla ice cream - yum yum and low fat/calorie to boot!
Yes Kathyrn, the packets are more concentrated than the granular.
We make homemade ice cream and I make mine with skim milk and splenda (granular) - tastes yummy - with half the calories.
Splenda IS sugar with the hydrogen molecule removed so it is undigestable. It does not give me gas or diarrhea - haven't ever heard that before. I know that too much olestra (the fake fat they use in fat free chips) WILL give you gas/diarrhea.
Overall, I'm a Splenda girl with just a kiss of the pink stuff in my tea!
