I'm diabetic and I'm forced to use the diet products. Splenda in soda reminds me of TAB--it's disgusting. Aspartame is wonderful if we have to choose...thank God for choices.Bonnilasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032721159591857981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-76817983207648953322007-03-20T20:27:00.000-04:002007-03-20T20:27:00.000-04:00I noticed I never updated.

I don't care for the Black Cherry Vanilla (Coke has a better tasting one) or the new Carmel Cream (no carmel flavor), but the Strawberries and Cream is out of this world! I buy a case whenever I can find the 12 oz. cans.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I came across Splenda sweetened Diet Coke today. They had several cases, but I take the bus so I could only carry one. I guess they are still clearing out their storerooms.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390991269990163088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-1156307822364799012006-08-23T00:37:00.000-04:002006-08-23T00:37:00.000-04:00Here in Canada (Toronto), I haven't been able to f...Here in Canada (Toronto), I haven't been able to find *any* Splenda-based pop. *Everything* is Aspartame + Ace-K. At least there's less Aspartame now that they are putting the Ace-K in 'em.<BR/><BR/>There are however many Splenda-based iced tea drinks and flavoured waters. In fact just today I found an awesome Diet Arizona Blueberry Green Tea with Splenda at the 7-11. Unfortunately I think they contain caffeine, which I try to avoid when possible.<BR/><BR/>You can also always just brew your own decaf tea, add Splenda and chill it overnight.BillyHWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051053155746071680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-1156274036653237932006-08-22T15:13:00.000-04:002006-08-22T15:13:00.000-04:00I never even realized the Coke w/Splenda tasted li...I never even realized the Coke w/Splenda tasted like "New Coke," Mister Tut. I LOVE IT! I'll have to pay close attention to that the next time I drink it.<BR/><BR/>As for Coke Zero, I like the "Coke Classic" taste it has, too, but just thinking about the aspartame repulses me when I drink it. I agree, Coke Zero would be MY choice for diet soda if it were sweetened with Splenda/ACE-K!Jimmy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590225257991702645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-1156272459862515022006-08-22T14:47:00.000-04:002006-08-22T14:47:00.000-04:00You know, it is very interesting trying to come to...You know, it is very interesting trying to come to grips with what is or isn't a regional product. Cheerwine, for instance. I think I heard of it once, but have never seen it. Jones Soda on the other hand, I can get absolutely anywhere in Massachusetts.<BR/><BR/>I used to love a splenda/ace k fruit soda by Polar called Clear and Natural, now gone. Waist Watchers is universally available up here, and fairly tasty (but sadly uncaffeinated!)<BR/><BR/>Pepsi Jazz is pretty cloying, like all the sweetnesss of Pepsi PLUS the sweetness of fruit on top!<BR/><BR/>In my perfect world, <B>Coke Zero</B> (<I><B>THE best</B></I> tasting diet soda, bar none) would be Sucralose/Ace K sweetened, but I don't forsee that happening any time soon.<BR/><BR/>I didn't care for Diet Coke with Splenda, as it used the same flavoring as diet Coke (based on the flop "New Coke" of the 1980's). Coke Zero uses the flavor-style of "<B>Classic Coke</B>" which is <I>far</I> superior.<BR/><BR/>Even so, I am saddened to see my low-carb brethren lose yet another option from their culinary arsenal.<BR/><BR/>Keep keeping it real, Jimmy!Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143149225842276791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-1156269852119079282006-08-22T14:04:00.000-04:002006-08-22T14:04:00.000-04:00As much as I prefer using Splenda in tea, cereal a...As much as I prefer using Splenda in tea, cereal and cooking I must admit I did not like Diet Coke w/Splenda.
