For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

    I’m kind on the same hill. I find that artificial sweetener leave a terrible taste in the mouth.

    The worst is that some regular drinks are using sugar plus sweetener. I got this bad surprise now than once after taking the first sip.

      I completely agree and don’t know how other people don’t notice the awful taste? Like the aftertaste is sooo gross and sticks around for awhile. Maybe it’s genetics and taste buds related. I also get bloated and headaches from things like sucralose.

      On another note though I have actually found an artificial sweetener that doesn’t taste like ass and doesn’t have negative side effects like sucralose for me. Xylitol has been great and I can finally chew gum again that’s good for my teeth too.

        I wonder if there’s a genetic competent to it like cilantro. I like aspartame, hate acesulfame potassium, and stevia is kinda meh.
