Splenda User
FOUND by Elizabeth
in North Gate, Berkeley, California
I found this in a bathroom on campus. There was no pencil attached but there were other similar postings around the walls of the bathroom with Splenda packets taped to them.

I love you sarcasm.
I think the blacking out "possibly through snorting" needed to be blacked out.
Don't want to seem too obvious.
Plus extra points for the creative taunting via splenda packets.
I am a recovered Splenda/ Sugar user... I had been snorting Splenda since I was 5. It ruined my life. I started doing poorly in school, dropped out before the third grade. I got all of my friends addicted to it. My parents and I faught all the time. Then I started to get into the more hardcore stuff like sugar and brown sugar. . . Those little empty packets I left everywhere turned into entire bags... that's when I was at my lowest. Started selling myself for quick fixes. Lost some kidneys. I lost so much that I can never get back. . . And that's when I decided to go to Splenda Sugar Users Anonymous. Turned my life around.
Thanks, Splenda Sugar Users Anonymous!
Maybe there is some side effects on consuming Splenda? Maybe it's good for constipation.
I wonder whether there were any in the mens' room?
Since Splenda has zero calories snorting it would only give a sting but no buzz.
Totally a cocaine-smuggling ring disguising the goods in Splenda packets.
I immediately thought of the episode of "Dharma and Greg" where she's up all night eating Pixy Stix, looking for Greg's secrets...
Somebody make some chamomile tea, good and strong--but unsweetened!
uch the same experience at her dorm when she was in college; someone leaving corn flakes boxes everywhere with the corn removed but the flakes all left behind in the otherwise empty boxes. No one ever figured out that it was th
Perhaps that's just a convenient location for her to empty out her purse? Sometimes there's no trash can after you've sweetened your coffee so you just stick those packets in your purse - then, when you're arranging yourself in the bathroom, it's a good time to toss 'em or just to leave them on the sink counter, depending on how neat a person you are.
J-school students should put on their '60 Minutes' trenchcoats and arrange to stake out the "facility" in order to find out who the perpetrators are.
Someone obviously thinks it is diet coke.
GODDAMN YOU, MIND!!!
5 minutes ago i've been leading a happy life not having the faintest idea what the devil splenda was, now i still don't actually know the stuff (yes, yes... even my underdeveloped powers of observation have led me to conclude that splenda is actually some sort of sugar-free sweetener), but i know that i'll spend the next two to eight workdays tryin' to figure out what can be done with that mystery stuff in girl's bathrooms...
@ Tim in TN: that was possibly the funniest comment I've read in months. Makes mine lame in comparison. (but I'll write it anyway)
@ Librarian: perhaps the Splenda packets were the remains of a previous stakeout. (The crime solvers didn't leave cigarette butts like in the movies.) Your suggestion would lead to a stakeout of the stakeout, which might look like something from Get Smart.
My guess is that she has an eating disorder.
Leave it to a journalism student to follow up on some trivial nonsense.
awesome
Do-It-Yourself hand exfoliator, when mixed with soap?
I used to work with a girl who was on methadone to kick an oxycotin habit. She would drink the methadone in the bathroom and add sugar to it to make it taste better.
Perhaps these empty packets are the leavings of a former heroin junkie who is overly-concerned about gaining weight.
I have no intellegent or witty comment to add. I am laughing hilariously, reading your comments.
If I saw this in the bathroom, I would have written some smart-ass comment..which I can't think of right now
Is there a flower pot outside for the empty straw wrappers?
ok, ok. I will confess: I have this compulsion...I take Splenda packets and then empty them out, for no good reason. I actually hate the stuff. Maybe it's some passive/aggressive behavior.
I'm guessing Chris in NJ and Terrie are correct... Sugar Alcohol has a notoriously laxative effect. It is often used by those with eating/purging disorders as a much less obvious form of laxative abuse.
Splenda. It tastes like sugar cuz it's made from sugar...
and chlorine.
Bulimics do this to get the taste out of their mouth after they purge. Mystery solved.
Does the splenda user not use the trash can? Are the curious notice-posters rummaging through the trash to see if they can Find any splenda packets?
That's the true mystery for me here.
well if she is a bulimic then she'll be moving to a new bathroom, now that her secret is out.
she does have some personal issues to work out, littering is a disgusting habit.
