What owners single out
In their words
“"New great taste" = taste like sugar now. I didn't pick Tom's for the taste; I picked it for what wasn't in it. No sugars, no sweeteners, no unnecessary additives. The "New great taste" is now sweet with a lingering aftertaste. Whether it's sugar or a natural substitute, we don't want it.”
