For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

I think high fructose corn syrup taste like literal poison. I can taste it in anything and everything it's in. Funny thing though. Your tastebuds acclimate, and you get used to flavors (either HFCS or Aspartame). I still struggle with stevia, sometimes, but it's far easier to look past than high fructose corn syrup.

Artificial sweetners do taste "off" to me, but tastebuds can acclimate to it. The rest of my digestive system? Not so much. Let's just say there is a reason it is pronounced ASS-partame.

My partner has been doing low carb for around 5 years now. I'm assuming it takes longer? I usually try everything they make. From ice cream to syrups to cakes.

Real talk though, I love xanthan gum. I know it's garbage.
