I remeber a while back people talking about liquid splenda. It was called
Sweetzfreez or something like that. Is it still available, and where can I
get some? Anyone know?

why is there not more avaialable?????

Why? I bought some on the 10th of this month and the window as open for a
good while. You simply have to plan for it.

The company that makes Splenda doesn't want it sold to the public in liquid
form. Apparently, that cuts into their profit margins in a way that they
don't like.

I'm not sure there is "such a demand for it" though. I suspect it's mostly
LCers who are real strict with carbs.

Also, the person who sells the liquid stuff "gray market" can only get
limited supply, so her scheme is designed to give everyone a chance to get
some. You simply have to plan better, Om. The windows happen at various
times, so you ought to be able to get it. Have your browser open to the
page before the window opens and make your purchase rapidly. Buy enough to
last for a while, too.

I'm very busy these days.

Wanna sell me some? :-)

I'll give you 15% over market value, plus postage!

If they had any brains, they'd sell it themselves.

Why it's not offered as a liquid is a real mystery. Since other low
cal sweetner's are available in that form, it's obvious there is a
demand for it. I'd certainly prefer it that way, even to put in my
coffee, because it's more convenient. I guess at the moment a good
reason for not offering it is they can't supply enough to the existing
market.

Nah- even before demand for sucralose took off and outstripped
manufacturing capabilities of the one licensed plant (in Alabama, BTW)
Tate and Lyle and McNeil still prohibited distribution of a non-caloric
form of the stuff.

IMHO

I think what is going on here is that the manufacturer exaggerates the
sweetness claims of their product at the tiny dosages they sell. To hide
this they only sell it with sugar added (Maltodextrin). Two different
sweeteners mixed have a synergy making them quite a bit sweeter than either
used alone. Their current sugar marketing strategy works, so they oppose
anything else.

I like to mix liquid Splenda with saccharine. Liquid saccharine is much
cheaper, but can only be used up to a concentration where some people
perceive it as bitter. Some foods, like a mix of coffee and unsweetened
cocoa, are quite bitter and require a lot of sweetening.

I still have two bottles of the 8 ounce kind that lowcarber used to sell. I
had bought a supply projecting that my diet would take until March of 2006.

I'll be glad to help you if you just cover postage. Just contact me off
line.

The next window is Dec 7 at 9 am. That should work well for me unless
something unexpected comes up.

Someone offered a plausible reason in here once....IIRC.

So, what else is new?

Cubit mentioned mixing splenda with liquid saccharine. Clearly
there is a demand for it, but the patent holder choses to only
sell the liquid form in bulk to factories. They get to make such
choices for the life of the patent, and as consumers we get to
remember such choices and act accordingly when the patent
expires.

Every so often someone sells the concentrated liquid. Their
supply is quickly pulled and they go out of business but the fact
that their product sells well shows there is a demand for it.

A theory - The liquid form is so strong they are afraid that
someone will use a teaspoon, freak out, and sue them. Why it
is such a weak theory - Mandate that the liquid form be sold
diluted like Sweetfree and the problem is handled.

You know what else cuts into their profit margins - Consumers
with memories. Patents only last just so long. The day the
patent expires legal knock-offs will appear on the market. From
that point on I intend to favor alternate manufacturers whenever
possible. They better get their money from me now because
the money won't flow as soon as their patent mandated
monopoly goes away.

The fact that suppliers keep popping up, offering the liquid
until their supply gets pulled and then disappearing again
suggests there is a market.

I'm just letting you know that I didn't receive an e-mail.
[email hidden] should work.

Cubit said:

Any idea when the method of production patents expire?

No. If you look at http://www.uspto.gov and search for the manufacturer
(or maybe searching for "sucralose" alternatively) you will get the
patents they own, and the expiration dates too.

News article just say "a few years" and then there might be clones of
the product.

In the Winnebago glove box next to the liquid Schwartz. Ask Barf for it.
