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

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.

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.

Civilized places have them.

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.

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.

I heard they went out of style because Betty Ford hid her LSD in them.

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.

Sugar cubes are very classé. Packets are déclassé.

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

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).

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

saccharin IS (not WAS) a sweetener
saccharinE is an adjective
