I recently bought a large bag of Splenda at Wal-Mart (about $6.50), not the individual packets, just a big bag of loose granular Splenda. Well, I've come to notice that it is not nearly as sweet as the Splenda in the little individual packs. For example, I can sweeten a cup of coffee with one individual packet, but when I use the Splenda from the bag, I can throw in a heaping spoonful and it is not even half as sweet!
Is the bulk Splenda diluted or something? I'm assuming that it may be because the bulk Splenda is mainly for use in baking. However, I haven't seen this on the package. It kind of upsets me that I have to use twice as much to sweeten my drinks as I would with the little packets. Not to mention the fact that the more I have to use, the more carbs I'm getting in.
Has anyone else noticed this?
