Oh, okay.

When I was a kid, I used to make hot fudge topping from scratch. I'd just
eat it with a spoon or put it on canned pears. My mom would just gag when I
did this. But it tasted good!
 
i should have also said that the walmart version made with splenda is better
and half the price... lol about the pears, i myself wouldn't do that, but i
have subbed in pears proceesed into apple sauce consistency for brownies and
choc cake, very nice, Lee

unless they have changed it, what i had was like very thin hersheys, its
been a few years, i have also tried the walmart sugar free choc syrup, when
dh checked the hersheys it had nutreacrap so i had to pass, my allergy is
bad enough we don't even let in the house...

What a great laugh you just gave me! Thanks!

I can just see that. I've always loved mayonnaise. I've gagged many a
person by taking a tablespoon of it and eating it. Yum!

One of my favorite goodies when I was a youngster was to take a slice
of luncheon meat and layer it thickly with mayo. Then roll it up
loosely and eat it just like that! One of my sisters would leave the
room when I was making one of those because it gagged her.

Of course, raw fish eating gags some people too and I do that
regularly on little balls of rice!

Sugar-free pudding is pretty much corn starch with artificial sweetener.
Milk is not carb-free. 8 ounces of milk is 15g.

Just because something says sugar-free, doesn't mean it's low carb.
Gotta read the labels.

The theory is when you mix two kinds you tend to get the good effects of
both but cancel out the aftertaste of either.

I didn't believe the theory until I tasted Coke Zero. They got that one
right. Very much like classic Coke. Closer than any other diet soda to
their full sugar version at least.

The real hidden screwing that can be found in allegedly "sugar free" sweets
are the sugar alcohols, like maltitol for example. If it ends with "ol" it's
likely a sugar alcohol. (Not really alcohol, but that's what they call it.)

Next time you're at the store, look at a package of candies like Hershey's
Kisses and read the nutritional label where it says Carbohydrates.

Now pick up a similar package of some sugar free individual candies, say,
some Werthers for example. Look at the Carbs.

(Often you'll see Sugar Alcohols on the nutritional label.)

Unless there is significant fiber (IIRC at least 6 grams) I think you're
supposed to treat the grams of sugar alcohol the same as any other carbs.
IIRC if there is enough fiber then you can deduct some of the grams of sugar
alcohol from the total grams of carbs. To me, it's just sleight of hand.

When it comes down to the nuts and bolts of it these sugar free snacks laced
with sugar alcohols aren't really saving you much in carbohydrate load.
Might as well buy the real thing, it tastes better, because either way, if
you're watching carbs then you need to limit the amount you eat. There's
generally no "free lunch" with sugar free sweets.

under their great value they have the choc syrup, and a few kinds of
jelly/jam, i think i ate the orange marmalade and it was decent to good, i
couldn't eat the strawberry because it was made with nutracrap, and I don't
ever eat grape... their fat free sugarfree yogurts aren't shabby and the
plain great value is better than good but not stoneyfeilds,

worth shopping to stock up if money is an issue, also, skulk around the
store like we do looking for the clearance rack, not the regular merchandise
one but the food one... often i find things there extrememly cheap, the last
time they changed the box of almond dream and rice dream it was over fifty
percent off, had a sell by dat of six months and longer and it was the shelf
stable kind... very nice to get almond milk for a buck and a half because
the packaging changed.

one of the beverage people that did a talk at one of our meetings was asked
this very question, the answer is that using two supposedly hides the after
taste some people have... i think its cheaper somehow, if it gives you an
after taste it does no matter what they put in it... btw i remembered
earlier today at one class the dietician/nutritional expert said that the
"legal" zero calorie limit was five to ten... so if it has nine calories it
can be called zero... i am not one hundred percent but maybe eighty five
percent sure this is what she said, don't remember for fat and carbs...
