In a recent taste test of nine sugar-free vanilla syrups, Splenda's French vanilla syrup was ranked the worst. Despite its brand reputation, the syrup presented an unpleasant flavor profile characterized by an overwhelming sweetness and a bitter, astringent aftertaste. The syrup lacked the expected vanilla flavor, both on its own and blended in coffee, rendering it undesirable. Created from sucralose, a sweetener with a long history, this syrup disappoints even as consumers expect quality from the brand.
On tasting Splenda's French vanilla syrup, the overwhelming sweetness clashed with an unpleasant bitterness, making it an unappealing addition to coffee or enjoyed on its own.
Despite the popularity of sucralose, the sugar-free syrup's lack of vanilla flavor and its surprising astringent taste led our testers to unanimously agree that it deserves last place.
