Almost a contradiction in terms

I mean, sugar-free candy canes?

I’ve never been a fan of fake sugar. Splenda has a horrible aftertaste in my opinion and Stevia seems to have a licorice-like aftertaste for me. I think after some time you get used to the taste but I’m not willing to put the time or effort into that to save calories. A normal candy cane is around 50-60 calories, these candy canes are 30 calories. Which means you can eat 1 great tasting candy cane or 2 fake sugar candy canes.

Alternatively:

You can burn the extra 30 calories running to the trash can to throw away your sugar-free candy!!

Now there’s an approach I can get behind. And as slowly as I run, “behind” is the operative word.

    Aaand, let’s not forget the side effect of the fake sugar

    Excessive consumption may result in a laxative effect

    Behind, indeed.
