Hi, I'm on Atkins and on that diet you can't have aspertame, the sugar subsitute that's in all diet drinks. You can only have Splenda, so I bought some. It's wonderful. I add a little to caffine free tea. It's the best I have tried. No strange aftertaste and it's made from sugar, but no calories. Try it, you'll like it!

just wanted to point out that even though the packets say 0 carbs it actually has .8 carbs and atkins says to count 1 carb per packet....also check out the diet rite soft drinks made with splenda, comes in different flavors...since it is a different form of splenda, you count zero carbs with the diet rite...also great with some heavy whipping cream added for a filling snack...

Magnolia, THANK YOU, I couldn't find any soft drinks that contained Splenda, and you can only drink so much tea!! I don't think I have seen diet rite anywhere however? But at least now I know what to look for. Where do you find them? Thanks again...........Jag

Hi, just wanted to add that my friend sent me an e-mail saying she researched Splenda and that it stays in the body or something and how pilots are not permitted to fly after eating it? How bizzarre, I won't stop eating it but it was interesting info she sent.
