Splenda vs Equal, discuss...


Splenda - I think it tastes better by itself and most of the things I use it on. If I'm not mistaken you can use it for baking / cooking as well.

Equal - I don't think you can't use it for baking, the taste is not bad, better than Sweet-n-Low thats for sure. I think Equal tastes way better in soda.

In the last 6 months in my area they started selling Diet Coke with both Spenda and Equal. You can choose which one you want, they are both stocked on the shelves at the same time. Atleast with Diet Coke I think Equal wins by a landslide.. In my opinion the Splenda version is just not as good.

I was at the grocery store the other day and they were giving away "coke zero" which is basiclly diet coke with another additive that makes it actually taste like regular coke.

Better living through chemistry :big_smile:

I thought Coke zero was just another fancy bottle for regular Diet Coke. I've never tried the coke with Equal, but the one with Splenda tastes pretty darn good. I like the blue on the bottle too. lol There's something about it.

Since Saccharin, Equal (aka NutraSweet or Aspartame) is the stuff that is normally in diet Coke. The Splenda version is the new one.
