The Original Brand Sugar Free Popsicle

The Original Brand Sugar Free PopsicleThe Original Brand Sugar Free Popsicle is sugar free, fat free (of course) and only 15 calories per 51 gram popsicle - which is a bit on the small size. I tried the box with the Orange, Cherry and Grape flavors, and all 3 were the same with only a slight variation in flavor. At first I was really pleased with the taste. The popsicles were sweet but with a slight tartness a the end. But then the aftertaste hit. It's like a slight leftover sweetness in my mouth - I've tasted this before in products that use artificial sweeteners. Usually a few sips of water will get rid of it - and this is an inconvenience, but if you're on a diet, then this might be a small price to pay for a low calorie treat.

There is a sharp bite at the end, which might be citric acid, or might be an effect from the artificial sweeteners.

The Original Brand Sugar Free Popsicle doesn't come in a fancy package, or make any nutrition claims, so don't expect to get fruit juice or anything really natural in this. The ingredients say: water, glycerine, maltodextrin, citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, guar gum, locust bean gum, aspartame, acesulfame K, ascorbic acid, Red 40, Yellow 6, Blue 1. So clearly ... not the most nutritious sounding.

One box has 12 popsicles, costs about $2.50 and is only 1 WW point. I would buy this again if I were on a diet and had a sweet tooth.

I think the only way to make a sugar free popsicle is with artificial ingredients... I really like these as far as popsicles go, especially when it's 100 degrees out. If you compare it to other popsicles of the non-fruit juice variety, I think it tastes the same- artificial, yet satisfyingly sweet.

I'm a fan of the sugar free Lifesavers Popsicles. Give them a try. I don't have all the numbers, but they are tasty, and a nice summer treat. (Although I do have them year-round!)

I am ADDICTED to the Tropical Popsicles. I can easily go through a box and a half in one day. The price went up from $3 something to$4.15 a box. I am on a fixed income so I can't buy them as often. I would appreciate some coupons that I can use. Thanks
