I'm guessing...mostly Sugar Alcohols. The Diet Pepsi is made with Splenda, Erythritol, and Tagatose. Crystal Light Slurpees are made with Sorbitol, Glycerine, Maltodextrin, and probably some other sweetener...hopefully Splenda like the Diet Pepsi Slurpee. The carbs would be from these 3 ingredients. Sorbitol and Glycerine are Non-Impact Carbs for most LC Diets. Maltodextrin is a Sugar derived from Corn or Rice. It is the filler that gives Granular Splenda [and other Artificial Sweeteners] its carbs.
