Roses are red,
violets are blue,
sugar is sweet…
…but so is Splenda
And a lot less calories, too!
So is NutraSweet,
but I think Splenda is much better tasting.
Did you know you can cook with Splenda?
At least that’s what I thought they said…
NutraSweet will break down and taste weird if you cook with it.
But back in the late 80s that’s the best they had.
Saccharine was HIDEOUS tasting!
Ugh… just thinking about it gives me the heebie-jeebies!
But I guess back in the day, same thing:
That was the best they had.
And of course, I’m sure that diabetics likely found
that all sugar-free sweeteners were like a godsend!
Finally, they could eat candies and sweeten their coffee…
Me, I was just fat and needed to lose weight;
so once I dropped real sugar, I never looked back!
Oh… wait… uh… did I mention violets are blue?
(They’re not actually, you know… so silly!)
