Does this syrup have that awful splenda after taste that the normal soda stream syrups and diet sodas have?

No, this has cane syrup in it. It is not a Diet product. I would say it is closer to Coke than Pepsi though. I honestly use half as much as it says to use, and it still gives a good flavor.

Because artificial sweeteners are so much sweeter than regular sugar, it takes a smaller amount to get the same sweetness. Because of that, there's a higher water to sweetener ratio in diet sodas, which makes them freeze a lot faster. You can certainly use diet soda, but you will probably end up with an un-drinkable solid for a while until it melts. Give it a shot! I'm sure it won't ruin the cup - it's just plastic after all.

I do believe it is with Splenda . They are great... Splenda taste better than other sweeteners.

Yes. High fructose corn syrup is the second ingredient after water. Wish we could find an inexpensive alternative without corn syrup.

I see by the ingredients that there is corn syrup and a splenda product in it.

They still sell the original cola formula made with only cane sugar and also now have one or two additional flavors with just cane sugar at Kohl's department store "maybe online". I saved the cap from my soda stream and used it the same way as the soda stream syrup. I was buying the soda syrup from Williams Sonoma as well the cola is ok, but the rootbeer tastes weird. I hate the fact that everybody thinks they have to put sugar substitutes into our food and beverages. Have you ever just carbonated water...it's actually pretty good. I really don't even drink soda, unsweet tea fan! I bought this for my husband to use & he has adjusted to less syrup to cut down on sugar period. It's an experiment but this Monin was a great brand to try.

I just checked the ingredients, no it doesn't. The difference between the two sodas, is that this one tastes like coca cola, the other one tastes like artificial sweeter.

These are NOT healthy no calorie waters !!!! Lots of nasty chemicals added and three artificial sweetners. I too thought they were water, juice and vitamins...WRONG...they have that diet soda taste to me, cause I don't drink or eat sugar substitues...it's amazing how many reviews tjink there is nothing artificial ??? LOTS of artificial in these!!!

It's artifically sweetened with Splenda. I have to tell you though, I bought a case of it because I am diabetic and thought this would be something I would enjoy. I drank one cup and tossed the rest. It was awful!

my son buys sodastream syrup and tries to figure out the proportions....I just use the fizzy water and add a shot of peach juice or lemonade to it.

I had the Rocky Road because someone said it was one of the best tasting ones, but I have to disagree. I haven't tried any others so I'm not sure if they all have the same artificial taste. It's like the artificial sweeteners taste that I can't stand. I'm not a fan at all!!

I tried it with carbonated beverages and it seems to flatten them. Even a fresh opened 2ltr bottle ends up tasting more flat and syrupy than it should.

Not at all. It doesn't have a recognizable flavor, in my opinion. It has a natural sweetener that is the only taste I notice and is not like a regular sugar sweetened flavor at all. I've been able to use it immediately after brushing my teeth without any bad taste left in my mouth.

I think at some point you have to trust that the seller is providing the product that they are describing. I have not had any issues with my Yacon Syrup....it tastes similar to molasses but different. You definitely notice that you feel different and digestion is more efficient with the Yacon Syrup in your diet. Hope this helps.

Ive never used it for the taste honestly. I use it for the protein and detox. Its not an Atkins Protein drink. LOL.

Hi everyone, This is Jeff from Integrated Sports Nutrition. We formulated and produce Red Leaf Pre-Workout Energizer. The supplement facts panels for dietary supplements are a little different than for regular food products. Sorry for any confusion. There is 0 grams sugar and 0 carbs. To be super precise, there is a trace amount of carbs from the natural lime flavoring, but it rounds down to 0 (per FDA labeling guidelines). The sweetness comes from the combo of natural flavoring and the sweetener - which is sucralose. Sucralose is the same thing as Splenda (the yellow packets you see at Starbucks). But we use very little of that, less than the equivalent of 1/5 a pack of Splenda. It's the combo of these various ingredients that makes the product taste sweet - even though it has 0 sugar. It was a painstaking flavoring process that took over 1 year to get right. It's because anything with any green tea or caffeine in it is nasty. So covering that up without using a ton of flavoring and sweetener is a bear. But we did it, using a very minimal amount of flavoring and sucralose. Hope you like it. Feel free to email me at jeff@isnlabs.com with any questions at all. Best regards, Jeff ISN

Erythritol is MUCH MUCH better than splenda, and MUCH healthier. Really no comparison. Erythritol has no after taste, just pure sweetness (a bit less sweet than sugar), andit's actually beneficial to health. No idea what Swerve is???
