  • my cousin heard that splenda was gonna be pulled from the market? anyone else hear this? i hate sweet n low!!!!!
  • I may have to cry if it is, I only use it for my coffee but I m really starting to like drinking coffee.
  • I found a few links

    HERE, HERE, and HERE

    But nothing that says they are actually pulling it...

    I really hope they don't... I love splenda!
  • From what I've read, it's just one group saying it should be pulled. I use two or three packets a day, and I haven't experienced any side effects.
  • i use 6 and i love not having that 'after taste'
  • Has anyone ever used Splenda in a Koolaid mix? I tried Sweet n Low, which I use in my coffee, but it tasted horrible!
  • Hi, you know, I did a search on Aspartame vs. Splenda over the weekend and I may be swearing off artificial sweeteners forever. It was really depressing. BJF
  • isnt coolaid sweetened w sugar? im confused....
  • No, they have the plain that you add sugar to it. and also already sweetend with sugar and sugar free. I love black cherry and they have the packet, but none with the sugar free. So, I'd like to sweeten it, but Sweet n Low just was horrible in it!
  • oh i see. i noticed crystal light also has the red stuff, but havent tried it b/c when i was growin up i had this weird tummy thing goin on w that it always made me vomit.
    i really do hate sween n low so if they really do pull splenda i guess ill have to try stevia.
  • Splenda is great in the 'drink' packages.

    I don't see them pulling Splenda at all. There is but 1 small group that is being pushed by either Sweet'n'Low or Sacchrine producers.
  • I have never tried splenda in koolaid but I think there is a BIG difference between splenda and sweet and low. I would try it. Crystal Light has a rasberry ice drink that reminds me of koolaid. I love it. It has the flavor and sweetness that alot of their other flavors don't have.
  • Splenda Kool-Aid works REALLY well, actually. Just buy the box of granulated splenda and you're ready to go. Its great if you're craving sweet, not-bubbly drinks...its a staple for me.
  • Wanted to add - they aren't going to pull splenda based on a few complaints of headaches/nausea. I get the same thing REALLY badly from sweet n low and equal, actually - very very sick from either one - and splenda has none of the same effects. Some people are sensitive to certain things - that doesn't mean they have to pull the thing (people are sensitive or allergic to peanuts, wheat, lactose, etc. etc., but most people can use them just fine).
  • Thanks Mandalinn,
    I'll try the Splenda. I have a box in the cupboard, but after the disaster with the Sweet n Low, I was reluctant to try it. I do love the Sugar free Koolaid. I'm not a great water drinker, but I can drink 2 quart of Koolaid easily. I don't care for the flavored waters. I was trying to pull away from drinking so much diet coke and getting more water in. Thanks for the tip.
    I think you are right about people having different tolerances and get sick from different things. I don't think they will pull it either.
