Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Liquid Splenda order is here.
Back in January we had a thread discussing the delays in online orders for White Sugar Flavored Syrup / Zero Carb Syrup Base Concentrate [Liquid Splenda] from: http://www.Locarber.com Mine arrived today, all 6 bottles. I did a quick taste test from a random bottle and it seems to be the right stuff, which I got before. The advantages of Liquid Splenda are having no carbs and it lasts a LONG time. I use the stuff like a maniac. One bottle lasted 2 months. In that time I would have used about 5 or 6 $4.99 boxes of the powdered maltodextrine stuff. I figure six bottles may last until I reach my goal. This may take a year and a half. As the story goes, Splenda allegedly cuts off supplies to anyone who bottles sucralose as a liquid and then Splenda refuses to make it themselves. They use their patent to deny access. I think this is a misuse of a patent. Maybe some rich lawyer could challenge their patent, as pro bono work. I'd be glad to sell you one of my bottles. Just mail me $200. [hehe] Cubit 308/267.5/165 Anyone know the proportion of the dry Splenda to water for liquid Splenda? How hard can it be to make for oneself? Is the cost that much more prohibitive? > Back in January we had a thread discussing the delays in online orders for > White Sugar Flavored Syrup / Zero Carb Syrup Base Concentrate [Liquid [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Cubit > 308/267.5/165 The difference is that the liquid Splenda doesn't have the maltodextrin filler. Some people do not like its taste. Rebecca > Anyone know the proportion of the dry Splenda to water for liquid Splenda? > How hard can it be to make for oneself?

So, unless you can extract the sucralose from the maltodextrin, you can't just make it yourself. The whole point of liquid splenda is to avoid the maltodextrin. I bought some, too. I love the stuff. The dry splenda is just sitting in my pantry. Don't know when I'll use it again. I use it in everything. Too bad Splenda doesn't take a hint and make it themselves ~Carrie >> Back in January we had a thread discussing the delays in online >> orders for White Sugar Flavored Syrup / Zero Carb Syrup Base [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >> Cubit >> 308/267.5/165 > I figure six bottles may last until I reach my goal.

Said it was pilfered. Had the box been opened? My box had an extra wrap of shipping tape, and was fully insured. > >Back in January we had a thread discussing the delays in online orders for > >White Sugar Flavored Syrup / Zero Carb Syrup Base Concentrate [Liquid [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > My order arrived from lowcarber - minus the sweetener - a few weeks > ago. Grrr. Said it was pilfered. "As the story goes, Splenda allegedly cuts off supplies to anyone who bottles sucralose as a liquid and then Splenda refuses to make it themselves.

The patent prevents anyone else from manufacturing Splenda and has nothing to do with how it is distributed. As I understand it, McNeil limits what customers can do with the product in terms of resale through a simple sales agreement. And that is nothing new and perfectly legal. >Had the box been opened? > >My box had an extra wrap of shipping tape, and was fully insured. No. It looked fine to me. I did get a refund, but she said at the time that she wouldn't be getting any more in. That obviously turned out not to be true. :: "Cubit" <no@no.not> wrote: :: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] :: time that she wouldn't be getting any more in.

I won't be doing business with her again. I last talked with her on 3/01 and she did not offer to make good on the delivery, didn't tell me she was getting more in. I was left to think she still didn't have any, which is what she told me when I received the box minus the syrup. She said she wasn't using FedEx any longer because of the trouble. I see she is still using it. The whole thing smells bad. No, thanks. -- Jean M. New food of the week: jalapeño peppers.

No, thanks. I guess I missed all of this...so you recieved a box without product and she didn't make good on it? Yikes! I placed my order on 2/1 as I recall. I did have to write her recently to find out where the order was...she quickly wrote me back saying she had sent 5 or 6 e-mails out about the status of all of the orders, but I received only 1 and it had to do with her taking a few days of vacation. Luckily, I had received notice prior to writing her from the post office about a delivery attempt. So she used USPS to ship my order. JFYI. >:: "Roger Zoul" <rogerzoul2@hotmail.com> wrote: >:: [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > >JFYI. I ordered mine before you did, IIRC. I think you posted about the shortage the next day. I had ordered several items and the syrup was missing. The box wasn't tampered with that I could tell. She said it was sent and there wasn't any more to replace it with. After back and forth e-mailing for several weeks about submitting paperwork to FedEx (they're incredibly stupid, btw), she did credit my PayPal but never did say there was any more syrup to be had. Her website still says she is using FedEx. I'm glad you got yours. Like I said, I won't be going there again. -- Jean M. New food of the week: jalapeño peppers. Do away with flipfloping to e-mail. |
