New Diet Coke!

Vince,

What about Um Bongo?

That's Robinsons - a brand owned by Bass Plc. They make donations to the Conservative Party and support oppressive regimes abroad. They also market PepsiCo's drinks in the UK.

Looks good, but I fear I would gain several pounds (weight) if I deiced to drink these things...

Swap out the sugar for Splenda then you might have something :-D

What about Um Bongo?  My favourite soft drink (which I can only buy in the small cartons in a 15pack instead of the litre jugs... thanks Tesco :-x).

If you mix equal measures of vodka and peach schnapps and mix with orange juice, it tastes just like Um Bongo ;-)

With the exception that Um Bongo doesn't make your legs go funny  :lol:

From OJ, milk, and 1/4 cup sugar?  Haven't tried Splenda.  Too expensive still.

Well Sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sugar, you wouldn't need a 1/4 cup of the stuff... I would suggest maybe 4 tablets.

Ever noticed that just about every other substance ever used as a sweetener is orders of magnitude sweeter than sucrose?

It comes as a surprise to hear that sucralose is so sweet considering that it is basically sucrose (the chlorines just replace the hydroxy groups that your metabolic pathways use as anchor points).

We have splenda in the house, it's disgusting. RO water system leading to an expresso machine with fresh ground coffe beans from Kenya and I had to ruin it by trying Splenda. It has a similar aftertaste to sacharin. (not QUITE as bad, but.... bad.)

The only sugar I use in coffee nowdays is Sugar In The Raw, oh and REAL cream, none of that "coffee creamer" crap. Real cream and real sugar makes all the difference in the world. Anything else taste like Gasstation swill.

Once the coffee is taken care of, must have Ginger snaps :-)

If you 600 times less Sucralose than Sugar, it tastes exactly the same... to me any way... with all other sweeteners I can taste that they are not sugar.

yeah, but how the hell do you divide 1/4 cup x 600?  Seems silly.

I`ll never forget the day I experimented and made fizzy milk... not one my stomach will let me forget either :oops:

I saw one for sale in ASDA for £34.99 on thursday night, and was sooooooo close to buying one.  Purely because I always wanted one as a kid and never had one.
