While at a fine eating establishment over the weekend, I noticed in the sugar container, packets of Splenda. This brought back recent memories of noticing that Pepsi One now contains Splenda. I thought to myself, what good is artifical sweetners? To consume? Of course not. Everyone knows that the whole point of having artifical sweetners at restaurants is so those who are bored can use the sweetners to create artifical snowshowers in their unused glass of water. Unfortunately for me, I had partially consumed my glass of water due to not wanting to guzzle my excellent glass of Bolla Pinot Grigio that had a scent of kiwi and a hint of cheddar cheese.

Well, so I used what I could and found the most amazing thing, the snow showers created by Spleda were much more splendid than those of Nutrasweet and Sweet and Low. Of course, these were initial results and have to be confirmed by additional research. However, I decided that my results and the subesequent taste test of the sweetened water was enough for a bit of a review.

Overall, I highly recommend using Splenda to pass the time due to the unique fall pattern of the grains. I would reconsider any thoughts of drinking the concoction however due to the very sweet nature of Splenda. If one has to drink sweetened water, one can never go wrong with the real deal, Sugar. I find the claims that it tastes like Sugar deceiving. This is compounded by the possibility that this is a carcinogen.

If you would like more information on Splenda, check out the link I provided which gives a nice little background.
