Does the stuff exist here? What do Korean diabetics do? Not eat sweets? C'mon, that would make sense!

Can you buy Xylitol in pure form?

Hi.
You can get equal at COSTCO, and at bigger coffee shops you'll find artificial sweetner, though you may have to ask for it - they might keep it behind the counter.

Otherwise, in the sugar section at larger grocery stores there's a thing called "Fine Sweet." It's 4kcal per 1 gram - which is one fifth what sugar is. Comperable to articficial sweetener I think.

'Fine Sweet,' eh? Good stuff, thanks.

Looked at Home Plus but didn't see anything. But I have a problem finding stuff there.

I got some Korean brand at one of the Lotte grocery stores. Had to ask for help finding it.

Do you know what it's called? It's probably in hangul, right?

I bought a box of Sweet 'n Low packets at Homever a few months ago. The artificial sweeteners were in a separate section in the cereal aisle (for some strange reason!). They also had several Korean brands of sweetener.

steal them from On the Border. This also gives me an excuse to go to On the Border, yeah!!!

There's an On the Border? Yowza! Where? Not quite LA Mexican, but I'll take it!

I probably never find the sweeteners because they are in strange places in the shops, and not next to the sugar where one would expect them to be. I can never even find regular sugar half the time. Oye!
