I might try the lemon iced tea mix .. it's made with sucralose (splenda). $4.99 for a canister with 6 individual portions, each makes 2 liters. That's cheaper than buying 3 boxes Crystal Light, which is made with aspartame and ace-K.

Safeway is offering the Air Miles out here (Vancouver Island)
Save-On Foods isn't saying what they're offering or giving a specific date on availability (distributors are groaning under the load).
Quality Foods in Nanaimo first to offer the goods but had some trouble getting the product in, last week...now in, and on introductory special 2.99 each (very good) with some limits on quantities.
Am I the only one to notice there's still some label issues? Note the Peanut "spread" made by Skippy with a Carb Options banner. Can't even call it Peanut Butter, probably because of the length of the ingredients list and the strange chemical collection, including (yuck!) added hydrogenated fats.
My take is that "they" get the marketing approach alright, they just don't get the "healthy body eating healthy food loses toxic weight" concept!
