Just got our tiny bottle of liquid Splenda purchased from a link someone
here provided.

My husband reports that it definitely has none of the aftertaste the
powdered packets seem (to him) have.   I couldn't tell the difference, but
then I don't use a lot anyway.   My only complaint is that it is very pricey
stuff!!!!

Nevertheless, they claim that the tiny bottle contains the equivelent of 24
cups of sugar, which makes it a bit more justified.

Two tiny drops is all I need in a huge cup of tea, to sweeten it nicely.

Hi Jeanne,

It is very convenient in that tiny little bottle.  Ideal to slip into my
purse and take along wherever I go.   Most restaurants only have Equal
(bearable in a pinch) or Sweet n Low (yecch!)

Hi, good to see you... 7 11 stores are now carrying splenda and some SF coffee
flavoring.s. I always carry splenda with me in my purse, in the car.. hubby
carrys it in his briefcase.. The little bottle sounds very convenient, but I
like the idea of NO fillers, best.

My husband swears the liquid has less aftertaste than the packets.   The
only glitch is that it is VERY concentrated.  One drop is like a tsp of
sugar at least.   Two is too much.  I think I may actually dilute it even
more to be able to get a finer breakdown on the quantity we use.

Jeanne, it actually COMES in a dropper bottle, and you can let it out one
drop at a time.   The glitch is that it is so sweet that two drops is too
sweet for my taste.

Maybe you could portion 10 drops or so into another bottle and add 10 drops of
water.. That way you will use it fast enough, but not run the risk of messing
up what you have.. I think that is what Im going to do when it arrives.. Best
of luck

I just put a drop on the palm of my hand and licked it off.  I could
still taste it 15 minutes later.

I just used mine to make a key lime cheesecake today. It took a mere 1/2
tsp. to sweeten the entire cheesecake. :-)

Did you ever receive any confirmation email, other than the PayPal
confirmation, or other communication from the seller?

Thanks!

I bought the 2 oz bottle and got an email confirmation from PayPal then an
email from Diane a couple of days later saying the order was shipped. From
order to arrival was less than a week and was packed very well. I was a
little skeptical in the beginning but now I am extremely pleased with the
purchase.

Later,
Dave

I did get an email from the seller that the product had shipped. I received
it only about 4 days after ordering.

Thanks to you, Debbie, and all else who responded!

I never did get an email, although I did send a request for email and
shipping confirmation; instead, I have received the shipment (I assume
complete, although I've not opened it yet).

It does seem pricey, but if you price the packets against the liquid,
you'll find it comes out cheaper.

Not to be absolutely certain is, I think, one of the essential things in
rationality.

I think the ability to taste the unpleasant aftertaste is variable.  Both
liquid and dry bulk Splenda have a really yicky aftertaste for me.  I think it
affects fewer folks than saccharine does, though.
