Splenda Tablets

That was the point of my original post. Anyone that would find a
tablet form of Splenda useful should contact the company. Maybe then
they will see that a market for this form of Splenda does exist.
Since the product is currently being manufactured, it would not take
much to start selling the in the US and Canada especially via mail and
online ordering.

I'll look up the VP of Marketing and the CEO and post that later.

Sent a question to the Splenda Consumer Affairs people asking about
the Splenda tablets that was a topic recently, here is the response I
received from them;

"We currently do not have plans to extend our product line to include
a tablet form of SPLENDA (R) No Calorie Sweetener. Although we do
sell a tablet form of SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener in other countries,
SPLENDA (R) Granular and Packets have been overwhelmingly popular and
are the preferred forms among consumers in the United States."

So, if they see no demand to sell this version of the product in the
US then it seems likely that tablets will remain unavailable in the
US. If you want it you best be letting them know.

What are the advantages of tablets over the powder that you would demand the former?

The main advantage of the tablet form is that they are much better to
take with you if you eat out or travel extensively. It seems very few
restaurants offer Splenda If you travel to Canada, you may find your
only choice is cyclamates. The packets are okay until one breaks open
or you get caught in the rain. The Tupperware container where I keep
bulk Splenda does not fit in my pocket very well and crossing the
border into Canada or the US with a container of white powder could
cause a situation.

Remember the tablet form of Splenda should have less carbs.

We took a trip to the UK yesterday (from Belgium) and found that they have
Splenda in the supermarkets in jars (same size as Canderel/NutraSweet) large
and small tablet dispensers - no bags and no sachets of powder.
Every self-service restaurant seems to have packets containing one Splenda
tablet alongside the packets of sugar, salt, pepper, ketchup, etc., and yet
we can't get Splenda in any form in mainland Europe.
It is certainly worth letting the company know your feelings but don't
expect any immediate reaction. Local marketing people always choose the
option they think best and local competition has a big influence. The
consumer has little say in the matter.

I used to be able to get Equal in tablets in a little pocket minds type
container. They were much more convenient for travelling and eating out,
then the powder packets.

"Each teaspoon of SPLENDA® Granular has only 2 Calories"

"Each tablet is the equivalent sweetness of one 5g teaspoon of sugar
yet contains virtually no calories. In fact, each tablet contains only
0.2 Calories. SPLENDA® Tablets come in handy portable dispensers which
are filled with either 100 or 300 tablets."

"But when sold in powdered form, under such brand names as Sweet'n
Low, Equal, The Sweet One, Sunette, Sugar Twin, Splenda, and others,
these products usually contain a sugar to increase bulk, and will
rapidly raise blood sugar. They are all orders of magnitude sweeter
tasting than sugar. So when you buy them in packets and powdered form,
with the exception of stevia, they usually contain about 96 percent
glucose or maltodextrin and about 4 percent artificial sweetener. If
you read the "Nutrition Facts" label on Splenda, for example, it
lists, as such labels must, ingredients in order from most to least:
dextrose (glucose), maltodextrin (a mixture of sugars), and finally
sucralose.Most powdered sweeteners are sold as low-calorie and/or
sugar-free sweeteners because they contain only 1 gram of a sugar as
compared to 3 grams of sucrose in a similar paper packet labeled
"sugar." More suitable for diabetics are tablet sweeteners such as
saccharin, cyclamate, and aspartame. As noted above, the same brand
name can denote multiple products: Equal is a powder containing 96
percent glucose and also a tablet containing a minuscule (acceptable)
amount of lactose. Sweet'n Low powder is saccharin with 96 percent
glucose."
