I am about to order some Da Vinci sugar free syrup.
I am thinking I might order 12 bottles.
Can anyone give me some ideas on which ones I will get the most use out of?
I just don't want to get stuck with stuff that isn't used often but I do want to save on shipping.
I looked on Eggfaces site but I sill really don't know.
It would be awesome if Eggy herself is lurking around here and could answer.
Any suggestions?

Hey Hope, Just spotted this :)

I prefer Torani brand personally... both brands are basically Splenda, water, and flavoring but the flavors of Torani seem to be more true to the real deal. At least to me. That being said I do love some Davinci flavors.

Here's some info on the syrups:

My must haves SF Vanilla and Caramel... use them A LOT. In everything.

Then its really a flavor preference...

I love SF Coconut, Almond, Black Cherry, Raspberry, Strawberry in Protein Ice Cream, Shakes, Fage Greek Yogurt.

I love SF Peppermint in Cocoa, Protein Fudge, Ice Cream

Amazon has a great deal on 3 packs of SF Vanilla, Caramel, Chocolate, Raspberry, Irish Cream, Hazelnut http://tinyurl.com/yg2ur8p

Favorite Davinci's are SF Blueberry, Kahlua, Marshmallow

Starbucks also sells there flavors and I always get a bottle of SF Cinnamon Dolce (ask at the counter its not on a shelf) I love to sweetened Ricotta with it it's like a cannoli.

I sometimes find random bottles at Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Marshalls. If you have a BevMo they sell them. Cost Plus World Market too.

Hope this helps. They are a lot of fun and add a little interest to creations.

P.S. For those that are worried about artificial sweeteners... here's my standard answer... we all have to die of something ;)

is there anyway to get the syrups without buying online. i'm in Montreal Canada and cant find them anywhere.

Thanks Eggy!
I am an ebay addict so I am getting mine there.
I can choose either the Torani or the Da Vinci so I guess I will go with the Torani :)I have never shopped on Amazon but I certainly would have no problem with it.
I saw this stuff at a coffee shop at ST Josephs Health Center in TO but sadly they had no SF for sale.
I think Michelle is right when she says you might luck into it at places like Winners or HomeSence.
I am pretty sure we have these stores all over Canada.

Ok I just checked out Amazon and of course they won't ship this product to Canada.
Oh well there always Ebay!

I too am in Canada and have found the only way to get it is to ship it in from the states....

If there's a WalMart near you, they carry some of the Torani syrups in the coffee isle. Vanilla, raspberry, caramel, chocolate. I love the raspberry syrup in sf hot chocolate. Mmmmmmmm......

Also Sam's Clubs sell Davinci flavors! I love SF Vanilla and Caramel and they also have a SF French Vanilla (not sure I like that one) and had some SF Fruit flavors!! Debbie

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Torani Syrups, and I use them in my Max Protein drinks, Fage greek yougurt, decaf coffee. My favorite is the SF Carmel, but I also like the SF French Vanilla, and SF White Chocolate. I just have to be careful not to put very much in or they get too sweet. (Who would've EVER thought I would say that - lol).
