Few of you know, and I bet even fewer care, that I eschew sugar whenever possible, and instead quite heavily use Splenda.
Therefore, it fills my heart with superficial joy to announce that another oft-beloved temptation which I succumb to on occasion--Starbucks--now offers its DoubleShot in a Light formulation.
In normal Splenda-infused formulations, a near-alcohol tinge can be tasted, but that is suppressed nicely in its coffees.
A trend is emerging, and perhaps a disturbing one at that, and that is that I've become quite attached to--one might declare reliant on--caffeine. It started with the Fall 2005 semester, and the obscene undertaking which culminated in my final paper for E301 - Literatures in English to 1600. Although I have at times successfully quelled it, this reliance reemerged during my Summer 2006 Geology course, and hasn't shown any signs of slowdown since.
