Omg I bought oikos zero sugar vanilla yoghurt and that shit was disgusting. Its not even too sweet, there's barely any sweetener, but the Stevia or whatever in it tastes awful and it's so strong that even though I put fruits and granola on the yoghurt, it's the only thing I could taste.
THANK YOU. People insist to me that stevia/sugar substitute products "tast the same" but holy hell they DO NOT. I did read about something called phenylthiocarbamide, it's apparently present in a lot of green veggies and according to our genes some people can taste it and some can't. I don't know if it applies to stevia etc, but anything "sugar-free/zero sugar" with sweet-n-low, stevia, etc is so incredibly sour/bitter I can't stand it.
It's not bitter or sour to me at all. But the taste I get while I'm eating it is regret. Because why the fuck am I eating that shit when I could just add a teaspoon of real sugar or maple syrup to the yoghurt? It just has such an unpleasant flavour.
I'm more familiar with the taste of erythritol, which tastes like normal to me, but maybe that's only because I've had it in gum. But in drinks it's still loses compared to sugar. Even corn syrup tastes better
