Saw them yesterday at wally world. 2.86 for 30 packs.. figured not bad.. so one of each flavor went in the cart. I can honestly say they are well worth the price. I put mine is a fairly normal sized mug and YUMMY! Not very sweet but its a nice change.

Typically splenda is very sweet, good to know.

lol Bill.. I guess it all depends on the size of your cup... I dont find them to be too sweet at all.

Does anyone know how many calories are actually in a packet of splenda? The FDA says that if a single serving size contains less than 4 calories, companies can legally put 0. Take the spray butters that are out there: 5 sprays contains 0 calories... not really. Splenda might really not have any calories, though, b/c the body might not actually absorb the modified sugar molecules and break them down for energy. Anybody know the answer to this?

Splenda also makes the packets for water.. just like crystal light does. I think so far the only flavor they have is lemon.. but it's still a good start. :big_smile:

Umm, wasakat I don't have the answer but wouldn't sweat the 4-5 calories - jump in place a few times and you have negated them:)
