> So far, the only sodas/colas I’ve seen that use Splenda are Diet Rite (Royal Crown) and Costco’s Simply Soda. I’ve tried both, and I like them better than Diet Coke. But you can’t get either at most (or almost any!) restaurants/fast food chains. So I’ll be happy when either Coke or Pepsi come out with a Splenda version, since I’m not comfortable with aspartame.

Ooops, when I said my roomate had bags of ‘stuff,’ I meant Splenda (sucralose), not tagatose. Sorry 'bout the confusion!
