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. http://www.splenda.com/vcrc/customer...UZYK B2IIQNSC http://66.38.175.38/splenda/eng/popu...%20SPLENDA*%3F I'll look up the VP of Marketing and the CEO and post that later. RB wrote in message . .. 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. rb |

Splenda Tablets
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. http://www.splenda.com/vcrc/customer...UZYK B2IIQNSC http://66.38.175.38/splenda/eng/popu...%20SPLENDA*%3F |

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. 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. Brian |

They were much more convenient for travelling and eating out, then the powder packets. |

Splenda 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." http://www.diabetes-normalsugars.com...hapter10.shtml (hba1c) wrote in message . com...
