found to cause health problems and are no longer used (mostly the no longer used part). The reason for this is quite selfish: I can't stand Diet.Today I visited Walmart where I saw some very interesting soda flavors, Cherry Limeade, Blueberry Lemonade...yumm. I got 4 bottles and excitedly took a sip of the Cherry Limeade only to be immediately disgusted with the result. One look at the ingredients found the culprit: aspartame. Yuck. The bottles said nothing about sweeteners, Splenda, Diet....just a big pretty picture of cherries and limes :) However, all I tasted was the sweetener; and my taste-buds were less than thrilled.
I enjoy sugar and I enjoy corn syrup but I just cannot bring myself to consume artificial sweeteners. Perhaps if my taste-buds would pay less attention I would have a more enjoyable experience but, for now, I'll continue to steer clear of the Diet aisle and enjoy the sugary sweetness.
