I'll lay serious money that you can *not* tell sugar from aspartame by
taste alone.

Not sure about that particluar sweetner, but whatever they use in cola
drinks and the othe carbonated beverages I drink tastes different and when
I've accidentally had some diet soda in the past, I could instantly tell it
was no real sugar. Now that I'm a type II diabetic and HAVE to drink diet
soda, I still long for the unadulterated good taste of real sugar.

I tried the diet Coke that uses Splenda and it was a bit better but still
tasted different than sugar.
I have had some sugar free stuff that did taste very close to real sugar,
but they tend to have Malitol in them which has a laxative effect.

I'm not going to bet you, but it would be a simple enough blind test to set
up with soft drinks or whatever you think would be best for not being
detected as having a sugar substitute.

I long for things like that so please tell me what things they might be.
Please oh, please, oh please.
