Damn, if he whacked everyone who made fun of his terminally perky motivational videos, Jane Fonda spandex outfits, and brutal "Luke and Laura" perm, half the world'd be writhing on the ground in pain:

the sweetener I am using these days in my tea is agave nectar which is from cacti.

So pedestrian, I use dried honey that falls from the wings of bees and is gathered by elves. I'm surprised you can't get that on the Upper East Side.

It's the one sweetener that dissolves well in cold liquid. Well, iced tea.

And, yeah, I know you texans have no call for sweetener for tea, what with your nasty-ass sweet tea and all.

Uh, sweet tea is more of a southeastern thing (GA, SC, AL, MS, AR) than a Texas thing, at least in my experience. I mean, Chik-Fil-A always has it, but that's a GA place. I'm sure that there are many places that serve sweet tea in TX, but it's not ubiquitous like in SE and you don't get the "sweet or unsweet" question so much.

What the hell is wrong with just sugar? Does anyone actually enjoy anything sweet made without it, or is it just a case of virtuousness trumping honest taste buds? No amount of calorie savings is worth the heinous taste and mouthfeel of any substitute ever produced.

Though to be fair, I haven't tried the stuff from elves.

So is this the new sweetener or what? I've been using it in my coffee to replace Equal and it tastes the same. Apparently it's much better for you?

This post just oozes testosterone. I am so hot for you right now, you manly hunk of manhooded man-ness.

Control-top pantyhose, please. Honey is so high glycemic.

I usually just pour the sweetener all over myself and rub it into my martini glass shaped chest hair.

I often have a glass of Crystal Light after spin class. Sometimes two. I chug it.

A real man and a real woman-pleaser would use genuine granulated sugar. Not only does it taste better, but it is also an excellent gentle exfoliant.

Four! Snuggums is a big fluffly bundle of love. Rascal is just that - a real street cat! Spike is a little standoffish at first, but really warms up to you after a bit. And Sweetpea, ironically, is a bit on the bitchy side!!!!

I use Sugar in the Raw, just b/c it sounds pornographic.
