My wife recently gifted me with a box of the new Splenda Flavor packets for coffee. She apparently debated in the aisle between Hazelnut and French Vanilla. She went with Hazelnut. So I figured I’d spend a bit and let you in on my impressions. And yss I know the pic is of French Vanilla.

First impression is a super sweet concentration with an almost overpowering flavor and scent. This is not unpleasant but at the same point its sweeter by comparison to a single packet of Splenda. I’m a low sweetener kind of man so this took me by surprise. The flavor is consistent and is a definite perk to any cup of less than standard issue coffee. I’m dealing with an ill advised purchase of some Folgers instant as my back up and its hard to get past. Without some flavor backup.
