Artificial sweetener, such as aspartame or sucralose, packaged as a non-adhesive continuous roll of tape that is pulled out and torn off as required.
Made of an edible protein/cellulose film similar to that which is used for breath strips, the tape dissolves in liquid but is strong enough to pull
when dry. A small blade on the packaging is used to tear off the desired length. The tape is printed with subtle markings indicating approximate teaspoon sweetness equivalents, with a legend printed on the packaging (e.g., 1 inch = 1 teaspoon = 1 packet). Tear off a piece and drop it in your coffee cup.

sometimes blended with stevia... could the mix be pressed into a tape form? [afinehowdoyoudo, Nov 29 2011]

I have nothing to add to this thoroughly sensible idea, other than the dispenser should pop open so you can chew on the entire roll at once |

(-) for artificial. Natural is better.
(+) for great idea. |

stevia tastes terrible in sufficient quantity for real
sweetening. |
|
| |
There is a sweet spot (no pun intended)
between a tiny tiny amount and too much. Hence
the need for precision dispensing. |
|
| |
Granted it doesn't have the syrupy texture of sugar,
but the taste is spot on. |
|
| |
Loads of things which taste sweet, many of which
are quite poisonous, such as lead and beryllium
compounds, cardiac and cyanogenic glycosides and
saponins. |

Re [Beanangel]: Generally, artificial sweeteners,
when tasted in large quantities undiluted by food
and other flavors, taste like being punched in the
tounge with a fist made of sugar-coated pennies that
just escaped from a chemical spill. |

This, however, is an extremely practical idea, and I
would buy this so hard. A dietetic sweetened French
pastry to you, assuming you still exist. |
|
| |
Oh yes, forgot to mention that i think this is a good
idea! |
