SPLENDASweet Minis 500 Tablets

IN SHORT -- The VERY BEST dispenser and tablet sweetener I've found, by a WIDE margin. I've tried 6--8 brands of sweetener-tablets in dispensers. This is the most convenient, the most economical, the best "mechanical" operation, and the Splenda tablets taste like sugar, with no unpleasant aftertaste nor other objectionable properties.> Small dispenser, 2 3/8 x 1 3/4 x 3/8, substantially thinner than similar dispensers for Stevia (including Splenda-brand Stevia) tablets.> The dispenser is very handy, just squeeze-in the the "trigger" on the side, and a single tablet will fall out the bottom into your coffee. Larger-tablet Stevia dispensers are often annoying --- crushing about half the tablets instead of dispensing whole tables, and often jam up. The tiny Splenda tablets are nearly round, and appear to be stronger. So far, my Splenda dispenser has not crushed a single Splenda tablet, nor jammed.> High capacity, i.e., 500 tablets versus 80 or 100 for similar Stevia dispensers, and therefore very economical. The Splenda tablets/dispener contains 6 1/4 x more tablets, but is only about twice the price of a 80-tablet Splenda-brand Stevia dispenser -- that works out to the Splenda-brand Stevia tablets to be about 3 times more expensive per tablet than the Splenda tablets.> Sweetens well -- One Splenda tablet is as sweet (maybe sweater) than a Splenda-brand Stevia tablet.ASIDE-- by experience/habit I've felt that Splenda sweetened ice tea/lemodate better than Stevia, but Stevia sweetens coffee/tea better than Splenda. It may be that I simply like the slightly licorice flavor of Stevia, which goes better in coffee than in lemonade. But, but comparing Splenda tablets and Splenta-brand Steavia tablets, I can't tell the difference. I still use powdered Stevia concentrate in coffee at home, but that might change --- the Splenda dispensers are so convenient.> Very convenient for travel --- especially to Europe where neither Splenda nor Stevia may be available in restaurants, nor even on cruise ships.> The size is also very convenient. I usually drink about 5 cups of coffee or tea per day on my typical 15-day cruises (usually with 3 tablets/cup). That's 224 Splenda or Stevia tablets / 15-day cruise--- which means I have to pack at least 3 full Splenda-brand Stevia dispensers OR one Splenda dispenser, which would be good for two 15-day cruises.> The Splenda tablets are tiny, less than 1/8" in diameter. An implication of this is that the Splenda tablets are comparatively pure Splenda (actually 40%). Really makes you think about what all the crap fillers in regular Splenda paper packettes is. Maybe the reduction in fillers is why the Splenda tablets taste better to me.MINOR CONS> The Splenda tablets are tiny. You may not see them splash into a cup of coffee --- especially if the coffee is cappuccino, or otherwise has a foamy white surface. So, I often dispense into my hand, rather than directly into my coffee. One of the conveniences of Splenda-brand Stevia tablets is that the tablets are (comparatively) so large that you can easily see them splash, and you don't have to touch them (with the caveat that a Stevia "tablet" is actually often only a crushed piece of a tablet, or a shower of powder).> The 500 tiny Splenda tablets are packed to the brim in the dispenser --- so if you need to open the dispenser, do so only when seated at a table over a large plate or soup bowl --- Otherwise you can have hundreds of tablets flying all over the room.

Good product and good design, but expensive

Love these for carrying in my purse. In Europe, this is the way artificial sweeteners are sold.

For home use, this is a much better form factor than packets of powder. Ever look at your counter after you've put a packet of sweetener in your coffee? I've got dark countertops, and regardless of my efforts to empty a packet of sweetener in a cup, there is always powder on the countertop. THis solves that completely. Takes 2 tablets to = 1 packet

I like to have my coffee with both cream and sweetener. While Splenda packets are readily available everywhere, I really appreciate the convenience of the Splenda tablets that dissolve instantly and give me just the right amount of sweetness in my coffee.

I.love the pills. Used to be reasonable priced but they hacked up.the price. Lately the pills have been breaking down to powder and when you get low the last ones are hard to get out. It's cheaper to get the packets right now.

This might be the best travel purchase I've ever made! Simple to use, super compact and these tiny pellets sweeten as well as the packs.

Compact, convenient and simple design. I have used for years because packets in your bag can be messy.
