I think you can still find them at a grocery store. What about just plain granulated sugar?

by Anonymousreply 6July 1, 2019 5:02 PM

I was grabbing a 10 lb. bag of granulated sugar at Walmart last week and spotted boxes of cubed sugar a couple of shelves above. I thought the same thing. All of the packets of sugar are probably cheaper, so restaurants use them instead. Gen Z would probably want the cubes in different colors and maybe even flavors. Safer than soap pods, better tasting, too.

My dentist used to have a big bowl of sugar cubes in the waiting room.

Not enough packaging! People want everything individually wrapped, for their protection.

They were handy because you could always buy someone sterling silver sugar cube tongs cheap but it looked expensive.

Does Britian stilll have sugar cubes? They drink a lot of tea. Sugar cubes just seem more civilized.

by Anonymousreply 16July 2, 2019 3:00 AM

Civilized places have them.

by Anonymousreply 17July 2, 2019 4:09 PM

And I still buy them. They’re quite handy. One cube equals 1 teaspoon of sugar.

They've fallen out of fashion since no one uses LSD anymore.

I have some (part of a sterling silver set that I inherited but never use.)

Lucy and Viv used up all the world’s leftover rest to help their boys’ scout troop make their White House replica to bring and show to President Kennedy. :o

You should try soylent cubes. They have zero carbs and zero calories although I hear the taste varies from person to person.

The cuber broke and the last guy who knew how to fix it died.

I was at a Turkish restaurant yesterday and they had a bowl of them at the table for your tea or coffee. I thought it was so quaint, I haven't seen them in ages.

Who else is old enough to remember getting the polio vaccine in a sugar cube?

Did you have a brontosaurus as a pet, too?

Sugar cubes are very classé. Packets are déclassé.

They put arsenic in them, like they did Tylenol and killed a bunch of people.

No, but I dated one briefly.

They're probably used more in niche settings. People drinking absinth and such.

"Saccharine" is an adjective, dear.

For R37 (from the page you cited):

Etymology

Saccharin derives its name from the word "saccharine", meaning "sugary". The word saccharine is used figuratively, often in a derogative sense, to describe something "unpleasantly over-polite" or "overly sweet".[5] Both words are derived from the Greek word σάκχαρον (sakcharon) meaning "gravel".[6] Related, saccharose is an obsolete name for sucrose (table sugar).

by Anonymousreply 38July 8, 2019 8:23 PM

Correct, r38. But saccharin is not only an adjective. It was an artificial sweetener for years.

by Anonymousreply 39July 8, 2019 8:40 PM

saccharin IS (not WAS) a sweetener

saccharinE is an adjective

Are you really that thick?
