I guess she decided to let someone else market her stuff. It's a fine product, and what I used before locarber went under.

And I found this stuff as an alternative to liquid Splenda.

And then there's this product.

Yeah, Maggie....I tried to go to the locarber.com site and find a link posted eons ago, and got the dreaded 404error page.

Henry, one of our members, has a source in Australia. I've just ordered from him and he seems very competent and nice. He sells industrial strength stuff with instructions to dilute it to something like Trish's (locarber) product.

I've PM'd you with the contact info.
I would love to have that info also if it is still available. Thanks1

Their patent on Splenda runs out next year. Which means there will be a multitude of generic forms of Splenda in our future, some of which will almost certainly be liquid... and CHEAP.
So how come Walmart can market Altern? I was assuming it's the same thing as Splenda... am I wrong?

And I'm not clear on the difference between Sweetzfreez and the stuff you got on locarber.com... could someone clear it up?

Thanks!

Altern appears to be a generic of splenda. It's sucralose plus whatever else they add to make it powder. Is there a liquid Altern?

The only difference between Sweetzfree and the stuff from locarber is that the Sweetzfree is MUCH more concentrated.

More info is here:

I haven't seen a liquid Altern, or I'd have been all over that!

It's much easier to get Sweetzfree now than it was a year or so ago. True, the site is only open for buying three days a month, but the buying period usually lasts about 24 hours, so most everyone has a reasonable chance of ordering. I'm really hoping for a generic and readily available liquid splenda soon, though.

That's true, Bren. I recently ordered there, since the Florida people have discontinued their product. I got there a couple of hours into the "window" and had no problems at all.

It's a good product, is packaged well, and arrives promptly.

I've ordered Sweetzfree several times and have always had a good experience.

As Maggie said, it's packaged well and arrives on time.
