The stevia can come in powder or liquid form. The liquid forms can have flavors like vanilla or berry. All on Amazon.

I don't like stevia at all, but monkfruit is great!

Even Aldi tea bags are better than Lipton IMO. Lipton is good for putting the bags on tired eyelids I am told.

This is a first world problem...


I went to a starbucks to get an iced coffee. I know, I know... Starbucks sux but I was desperate for a coffee fix and that was all that was around.

After putting the half/half in, I tasted it and it was disgustingly sweet. I NEVER sweeten my coffee or tea.

I went back to exchange it saying that had made a mistake. After exchanging it, I was told that that's how they serve iced coffee and I had to ask for unsweetened coffee if that's what I want. I asked them what would happen if an unenlightened diabetic had ordered just an iced coffee and got a shrugged shoulder as the reply.

If I had ordered just a black coffee, I would have gotten unsweetened coffee.


Note to self: no more starbucks, no matter how bad I'm jonesing.
