Maybe that would be an alternative for me to prepare sweet drinks such as iced tea myself, without getting sick or too fat...

Do you like it?

In what form is it sold? Tablets (like coffee sweetener), Powder, Liquid?

Any certain brand names, or could I just ask for Stevia in the next best Target, Walmart etc.?

Thanks
It's all over the US and it has been for the past 5+ years. Almost uncommon to go to a restaurant and not see a yellow packet of Splenda available. I can recall seeing Splenda available maybe as early as 2002/3.
