I drink a brand of soda called Zevia, it's sweetened with stevia instead of sugar. I've never been a big soda drinker so I find it tastes fine, but "hard core" soda drinkers often have a different opinion.

Anyway, I spilled some of the Zevia soda all over my fingers one day. I immediately went looking for a napkin or some paper towel and then it occured to me: my fingers aren't even sticky! Stevia doesn't have that same affect as sugar and it was completely unexpected.

Unrelated, but sort of related.

A little less guilt, right? That's not such a bad thing!

...even milk chocolate is beneficial. Good news for those of us who are not dark choclate fans.

BTW - your little siggie graphic has been cracking me up all weekend.
