I drink diet POP instead of regular because it saves a good 150 calories.

But in tea/coffee? A teaspoon of sugar has ~15 calories. Even me, who needs two - thats only 30 calories. The entire company here has been subsisting on equal artificial sugar for weeks now. I'm at wit's end. It TOTALLY RUINS a cup of tea. Its not so bad in coffee, but still not very good. Whats with this? Real sugar in my tea/coffee hardly costs any calories. Plus, when we do get real sugar everybody scarfs it down.

In fact I think that whoever is in charge of kitchen supplies is just cheap. But I still hate artificial sugar.

Hmm. Honestly I had not thought of that. I had thought of buying a big crate for work until I realized how expensive sugar is and decided I ain't buying for anybody else!

Just suggest that artificial sweeteners "look" like anthrax. Soon everyone will be clamoring for plain ole sugar.

I thought that these artificial sweeteners were really bad for your health.... low on calories but high on all sorts of bad chemicals... and they taste terrible on top of that.... I personally can't stand em....

Wendy's usually has sugar packets sitting out (at least around here)
So next time you stop in, just grab a few
