I HATE the aftertaste of ALL artificial sweeteners! They leave a cloying
feeling on the tongue (YECCH!).

One time I was given a sample of a "health drink." A few minutes later,
while walking around the store, It felt like my tongue was coated with a
taste deadener. I went back to the sample stand and found out that the
stuff had Splenda in it. Aspartame and saccharine have the same effect.
