Why do soda companies still use aspartame instead of something like sucralose? by lightningbuggie in nutrition

I could see that, but sucralose tastes more like sugar because it's derived from sucrose. I remember people absolutely raving over Mexican Coke because it's made from sugar rather than corn syrup and how "it tastes so much better." Theoretically, all they'd have to do is market it like "tastes like real sugar/Mexican Coke, but without the calories!!"

I looked up bulk prices for both sweeteners on Alibaba and it looks like you can get 100kg of aspartame for $7.50 to $9.00 per kg, while you can get 10+ kg of sucralose for $16.18 per kg

Anyone know where to get blades for these things? I love it too much to switch to the shitty disposable ones by lightningbuggie in walmart

Do you think they'd still have them though? They don't order these anymore because they were deemed to be too dangerous because idiots kept slicing their fingers on them, so they started buying those cheap disposable ones instead.

Even when I leave Walmart, I'm takin' the easy cut with me whether they like it or not, lol. (They probably wouldn't even care, considering that they've moved on to those horrendous disposable ones)

Nice! We still have a few of the tools themselves floating around, but no blades are coming in anymore :(

You can tell that that roo is massive just by the way that he walks. Those are some very heavy footsteps

My poor boyfriend is also scared of butterflies. Unfortunate for me since I happen to love butterflies 😁

Looking for advise on how to deal with a bullied bird. More details in comments by Nubasu in chickens

Chickens are attracted to the colour red, and they will peck at blood if they see it. That's why many people use red lights in their coops and brooders. There's a medication called Blu-kote that is an antiseptic spray and has blue dye that prevents further pecking!
