Whenever I go out to eat I like to drink iced tea, but I've gotten so used to sweet iced tea that I really don't like it without sugar and I can't stand the artificial sweeteners in the pink or blue packets. So, I don't know if this is strange, but I've started carrying packets of Splenda with me when I go out to eat since not many restaurants have it. I think Splenda tastes better than those other artificial sweeteners.

I've done that before. Mostly now with my meals I just have water with a wedge of lemon.

Why would that be strange? Different sweeteners do taste different to different folks. One thing to watch with the powdered sweeteners is that they are usually bulked up with things that can affect your blood glucose. Consider pills or liquids.

I always carry a pack or two of splenda with me just in case. I don't like the pink or blue stuff. Although I drink plain tea, I need a little sweet in my coffee.

Confession: Whenever I am somewhere and see splenda, I always steal some packs for the road. lol

That reminds me, I still use salt and pepper shakers I swiped from a restaurant many many years ago when I was first out of the parents house. lol
