Where you CAN'T find Sweet-n-Low....

I just saw a TV commercial for Sweet-n-Low, in which they show aliens
on another planet using their product. During said commercial, they
claim "Sweet-n-Low is EVERYWHERE!" I'm here to tell you it's NOT.

I think there should be a web site where people can add the name and
information nationwide about public establishments wherein you CANNOT
flavor your iced tea with a "pink one."

In Tucson Arizona there is a WONDERFUL sandwich place called Beyond
Bread. Absolutely the BEST sandwiches you've ever had. My wife LOVES
the place, and wants me to take her there all the time. I love their
sandwiches, but actually tell her, "Let's go someplace else. Remember,
honey, they don't have Sweet-n-Low there." She usually ends up winning
(those sandwiches are REALLY good) but I almost always put up a fight.

If nine people think it's worthy, I'll create the web site....

Just curious as to what you'd use the Sweet-n-Low in? I say this because I
have never used a packet of sugar or any other sweetener in a restaurant.
In fact at home I might use sweeteners once or twice a year in some recipe.

There are better sweeteners.

Stevia is a natural plant that is 10 - 12 times sweeter then sugar( the
extract is 300 times sweeter ), has virtually no calories, has been used
by Native Americans safely for centuries and has been used safely by
Japan for over 2 decades.

Nonsense! Let's not get back to this again!

There are also sugar alchohols like xlyotol ( sp? ) that do not pass
through the intestine so are non caloric.

They're also laxatives.

. . .and is banned as a food additive in the U.S. and Europe because
it
is regarded as too dangerous.

Was banned......years and years ago......as was saccharine( aka
sweet-n-low )

Now you're lying Steve!

Stevia has since proved safe. Beyond 20 years of heavy use in Japan it
has also been used heavily in Europe and for hundreds of years by
Paraguay Indians.

It's banned in Europe. Another lie!

It is sold in just about every health food store I have been in and I
live in the US.

Yeah. That's because it is illegal to sell it as a food.

Where you can't find splenda... most places!
Starbucks uses it now... which is great.

Stevia is not poison, there is ample documentation that it is a safe
sweetner for those who care to look.

There is more than ample documentation pointing out the dangers of it.

My mentioning of it was in the spirit of a friendly tip. I gain or lose
nothing if people choose to use it.

How is telling us to eat poison a friendly tip? Do you even have diabetes?

You post is gratuitiously rude, misinformed, and narrow minded.

And yours is just misinformed and narrow minded.

Coffee or tea are very common uses for them.

Oh. I can't stand any kind of sweetener in my coffee or tea. Ruins the
taste, I think.

If it's so important to have Sweet and Low, then why not carry a few packets
just in case rather than skip going to places you love?
