I never got the sample. But I recently just bought a 2oz bottle of Sweetzfree which will last me a year. Thanks for the info on Sweet Water. Next time I'll check that out. I'm often scepticle of things sold on Ebay but if others are happy with it, that's good enough for me. Anyone know the shelf life? I'm wondering if I bought 4oz if it would still be good over the couple of years it would last me.

Far as I know, it's forever... check the FAQ on the sweetzfree site, or email the lady? I'm sure that's a question that would have been asked before, many times.

BTW, I still have liquid concentrate from 3-4 years ago, sealed. OTOH, if in doubt, why not just freeze one of the containers (make sure there's freezing room in it).

There ya go. Of course, that gallon on eBay hadn't yet been transferred to small bottles, or had preservatives added(?) -- i.e., been exposed to air since manufacturer's sealing...

I went to the site and followed your instructions, but how do you get a sample when they don't even ask for an address?
They have my email address but that's it?

I filled out the form too a few minutes ago and went back to see where I had forgotten to post my address but there was no place. Guess I won't get a sample unless they can send it through the telephone lines to my email address.

"Would love to have the tablets for travelling, though. They can be bought from Australia, I believe, or possibly Europe. Used to be a sticky link in the PRODUCTS forum, I started it years ago, about Liquid Splenda and contacting the maker (McNeil) in the US or Canada. There should be links in there somewhere."

I love the tablets. I have to get them brought over with the bf from the UK however. I wonder why they don't sell them in the US, it seems like a huge market would be here.

Rosebud - The reason is now they email you with all kinds of questions and basically demand proof you are using it for commercial reasons. If you pass thier interigation, then you give your address for shipping I guess.

A very dear friend (or she will be when all is said and done! ) is shipping them to me from the UK.

Certainly a somewhat better rate than that offered on eBay, being at cost inc postage. Now THAT'S a friend. I am lucky.

This jug of Sucralose Liquid Concentrate is made by Tate & Lyle. It is in a brand new, still sealed jug. It is .95 gallons of liquid splenda. Splenda is a liquid sweetener that is sometimes called sugar water.

Liquid Splenda sells for around $10.00/ounce! This is a great deal!



I went back to this link to see how much this guy got for this gallon of liquid sucralose and although he had to put it up for a second bid he got $400 for it...

Jude they are selling these at the Super Walmart near me now. You might want to look on one of your trips.

Kevin,
Are you saying they are selling liquid sucralose at Walmart? Wow. Ours doesn't even have the splenda quickpacks.

I think she meant the tablets. In any case we don't have those in my super wally world either, unfortunately. I had to get a small supply from the UK as well and I think I already went through that. I much preferred them for my morning coffee and that was my main splenda usage area.
