Me either -- just throwing it out there. If it can't hurt to try it, then it can't hurt to try it.

I'm learning my way through all the various sugar substitutes. I used to avoid them, but now it's them or nothing, and I'm finding some interesting differences. E.g., I like root beer, but there's a HUGE difference in sweetness. A&W seems to have many (3-4?) times the amount of aspertame as Mug (the only 2 diet RBs available locally -- can't find diet versions of Barq's, Dad's or Hires). A&W is so syrupy it leaves an aftertaste for hours, but I can drink Mug (figuratively) 'til the cows come home...

Doc (There used to be a Doc's Root Beer [NAYY], rebranded many decades ago as Dad's)
