I live in Pennsylvania, and here they sell liquid splenda in Kmart.
The powdered splenda list 0 carbs, but it actually has carbs in it.

Victoria:
You can use the packets in all kinds of recipes, just convert them ... 1 packet equals about 2 teaspoons of the granular ("baking") Splenda. Information about how the stuff is made from sugar (it's a chemical conversion) is widely available, both on the Splenda website and all over the web. Also, using the Search button on this website will get you lots and lots of information on this subject. Recipes, too. You don't have to wait for the phone number, it's listed several times in this very thread (collection of posts), you can call them anytime and they will probably send you more information, too, maybe some coupons. By the way, it's up to the store what kind they carry, you might want to check in different stores (grocery, drugstore, health food store) and see if they have the granular kind as well as the packets. If they don't carry it, ask them to. It's the only way they know what their customers want.

Gecolon:
Liquid Splenda? In the US? In K-Mart? Are you positive? Both Splenda Canada and Splenda US are pretty clear right now that you can't get the stuff without their permission. Hmmmmmm, I wonder if it's available in Mexico? If at all possible, could you get information from the label and share it with us here? The place it's made, the full name, the Ingredient List? Would be very helpful to your fellow lowcarbers.

Well, I had ordered liquid splenda online about 5mos ago. When I ran out I asked a coworker [who is also lo carbing], she advised me that they sell it at K-mart. I am going to check (for myself) this weekend, and I will get back to you.

*When I tried to order some more online I was advised that the demand outweighed the supply and there just wasn't any available. I used to order it from here: www.synergydiet.com

** sucrose information deleted by Moderator **
** SUCROSE is the chemical name for SUGAR, not Splenda**
** SUCRALOSE is the chemical name for the artificial sweetener in Splenda; Splenda is the registered brand or trade name **

Thank you Islandgirl,
I will check out the Splenda website again. I'm new to this computer thing. Just got my very 1st one a month ago. Also thanks for letting me know I can use the packets for baking. I will try that. I just used some in whipping cream this morning as a special treat for my coffee. I probably only used a quarter of the packet and it was wonderful. Not too sweet!!
I did see the U.S. number since I had posted, so will call. It's good to let them know what we want. I have tried to stay away from asparatame, so splenda seems to be a good alternative. I noticed on the Splenda website that Diet RC had Splenda in it rather than Nutrasweet. That helps a great deal, although I don't expect to drink too many soft drinks. I drink water mostly, sometimes ice tea without sweetener. But there are times when the whole family is drinking sodas(like at a picnic) and I would like to have one also. Always good to have alternatives, so I don't find myself "tempted".
Again, thank you for your imput! Victoria

2big, thanks! for filling out the customer comment card.

Just so you know, though, Erythritol is not QUITE zero carb as it is a "sugar alcohol".

The potential issues with sugar alcohols are listed quite extensively in Doreen's article "the truth about low carb sweeteners info" (see the quick link over on the right there), and I"ve just posted some details on the stuff in this very forum, under its own thread.

FYI and hope this clarifies things!

No liquid Splenda at Kmart [just granulated]. Da Vinci (sp) syrups and Diet rite are made with liquid splenda. I guess I am going to have to go out and purchase those until the liquid is available again.

Lightbulb Update.... more Info

This is from the Canadian Splenda webpage, at Splenda Canada, FAQs, where despite the comments from the 800 Operator (see way at the beginning of this thread) about there being very few requests for Liquid Splenda (HA!), there is actually a FAQ (or Frequently Asked Question) about, yes, you guessed it, Liquid Splenda.

There's other handy info on this page about how much and what you can use Splenda for... have a look.

Default New 1-800 or submit request on web

Splenda now has a new 1-800 number:

1-800-7-SPLENDA (1-800-777-5363).


But I went to their website and also found that you can submit your comments on-line --> just go to www.splenda.com and click on the Contact Us button on the top and submit your request for Liquid Splenda in your local grocery store!

Please, let's get them to do this for us!

K.

Yep, that's the US-based Splenda 800 number and website ....

just as a refresher:

Splenda Canada is at http://www.splenda.ca and the Splenda Canada 'hotline' is 1-800-561-0070 .

Now, if there are any volunteers who can come up with a European-based phone number and website , that would be very helpful to some of our other members!

Meanwhile, if you have ANY interest in Liquid Splenda (with NO filler carbohydrates like dextrose or maltodextrin or glycerin) being available, no matter where you are, contact the websites and/or the free 800 telephone numbers and make your wants known. Perhaps even MORE effective? Let your favourite Store Manager or Customer Service person know you'd very much like this product!

Actually, I wouldn't give it up... I'll have to use it more sparingly.

Thanks for the info.


LadyRider,
have you heard from the online vendor?
