    I’ve yet to find a fake sugar that doesn’t taste like bile and sadness. Stevia is the best of them, but it’s still basically like choosing to eat the most appealing-look turd when there’s a literal banquet available at the very next table (real sugar)

      I have to admit, a lot of R&D goes into designing a good sugarfree alternative to sugary drinks. Case in point, especially for my fellow Germans: Spezi Zero (obviously Paulaner) tastes really good, but Almdudler Zero tastes pretty bad compared to normal Almdudler.

      Have you tried monkfruit yet? It’s the closest thing I have found to real sweetness that doesn’t taste like total aids. You just have to use very little of it as it’s super strong

        I have. It’s definitely one of the least egregious and doesn’t have that painful disgust bile taste of the others, but I found it have a… I dunno, “musty” flavor to it? So I also don’t like it, but in a different kind of way than the rest.
