Coke Products Sweetened With Stevia?

Dec 19th 2008 12:40PM on Slashfood

Stevia is okay but it does have a little bit of an after taste. Right now it's made from a plant, just like sugar, and therefore I trust it more than the chemically produced artificial sweeteners. Unfortunately, I think in order to make it taste sweet without the aftertaste it will have to be over-refined and therefore may not remain as healthy for you.

It's still a natural, plant-based zero calorie sweetener so that's nice.

Sweet! This means that the Wizards will also use this nice screen once their season starts. The old screen was horrible.

SafariBlock: More powerful ad blocking

I prefer the usercontent.css trick: http://www.floppymoose.com/

It works pretty well, I rarely see any ads. It doesn't have the nice feature of being able to right-click and block something but I live without it.

I'm looking forward to visual voicemail the most because it looks useful and hopefully it will correct the fact that Cingular has been unable to correctly setup a voicemail box for me for the past 2 years!

I really want a Wing. I've never had a QWERTY phone!

Cool. I hope I get one!

Valentine's day love letters to our gadgets

I totally concur with the WRT54GS loving. No other router is as good as my DD-WRT WRT54GS. My old 54G lasted me almost forever until an old surge protector let it get shocked one sad, fateful night. But now my GS is here with a faster processor and is even better!

I used it and hated the UI with a passion. Why are they using checkboxes like radio buttons all of the sudden? That pissed me off so much, I love the radio button.

It's just not intuitive. Too little, too late.

That said I'm going to get it...

16 packets of sugar a day can't be good for me

Jan 25th 2007 6:55PM on Slashfood

I use Splenda but it does worry me considering the toxicity of it. Maybe I'll try stevia.

Otherwise I use .5 to 1 sugar packets in my tea. When I did bagged teas I needed 2-3 but now that I use loose tea (from Adagio) I don't really need it. Some teas are fine without any for me!

Green tea I can't drink without sweetener though. I'm really sensitive to the grassy bitterness on the bottom of my palate I guess and a little sweetener bumps that bottom note up while keeping the rest in tact.

Stikkit web service has all sorts of Mac OS X integration

Site is down for some reason. Just when I wanted to use it too!

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
