Because you're wrong. Stevia tastes nasty, like some kind of nasty unsweetened licorice or something.
And they do use it to sweeten drinks. Go to any higher-end grocery store and you'll find weird-brand drinks with it, for weirdos like you who apparently can't taste the ick.
What does cilantro taste like to you? To some people, it tastes like soap, to others it doesn't. There's a gene which controls this.
- technojunkie 10y agoI wonder if the same can be said about sugar, where some people taste it as nice and others think it's too sweet or gross. There are various mixes and types of stevia out there. You should find the varieties.
- Grishnakh 10y agoI've tried several, as my ex-wife was into that kind of thing. They all taste terrible to me. Some other things that taste terrible to me that other people claim are sweet: aspartame and saccharin. They don't taste sweet to me at all, just nasty. Sucralose tastes bad too, though it at least tastes sweet, just in a really nasty way. Stevia tastes sweet too, just in a nasty way. I wonder how much of this is how much people are used to: if you keep drinking diet soda for years and years and "acquire" a taste for it, maybe then real sugar will taste weird to you.
