my Coke example was actually the fact that Diet Coke has existed for decades, and it and Coke Zero are available everywhere. They taste fine. I don't care about a stevia version. I drink lots of diet coke or coke zero (don't have a very strong preference) and want to eat lots of artificially flavored oreos the same way. I can certainly do that: if I take twelve hours to read and track down ingredients and make them myself or something. these products are not made by nabisco, and oreo is just one example. it's the best-selling cookie in america and comes in all these ridiculous flavors:

including literally "swedish goldfish" which is disgusting on its face, and also actually disgusting as reported here:

and

So it's just disgusting.

But if you google Stevia oreos (which wouldn't be disgusting) you get...home recipes to make them.

why? Why, in all of these flavors, including abominations such as swedish goldfish, does stevia not exist?

It doesn't add up. 100%, there's something, someone, some process, some state of affairs to blame here.. . .
