Personally I count them as 1g/packet.

1g per packet. If you use the bulk Splenda for cooking, it's 24g per cup.

This has me wondering, how much would be in an entire 2 liter of Diet Rite?
and would the various flavors have more or less splenda?

Commercial companies use straight Splenda, which is calorie-free. The
calories in what we mere mortals can buy is caused but the filler that
allows us to use the Splenda measure-for-measure with sugar.

Almond (corn) bread? You mention this without pointing to a recipe?
Please?
