Title: Splenda is a poor sugar substitute in my morning coffee.
Post by: muckhole on October 07, 2008, 10:59:20 AM

There's no sugar left here at work, so I'm using Splenda to sweeten my coffee.  :yuck

It's making my tongue numb. All the scientific advancements in the world and this is the best they can come up with?

Splenda is a poor sugar substitute in...just about anything.  It's the weird aftertaste that kills it.

But since I don't like it, it's easy for me to avoid most of the crop of soft drinks concocted in the past 5? years.

It's like a chemical burn in my mouth. Science has failed me yet again. First, affordable sex robots, now this.
