edit: this one is more erythritol than stevia. So it's probably less sweet and you need to use more. Plus, extra crap added to bulk up a product is a big negative to me.
"Stevia itself, as an ingredient, does not contain erythritol. Some brands of stevia products use erythritol as a bulking agent to make packets or powdered versions (typically not liquids) because stevia itself is a very concentrated sweetener used in tiny amounts."

Yeah it is very weak. 2 packets is probably ideal but even then you are still getting 500 uses here. I try and use 1 1/2 packs.

Stevia leaf extract is 200-350 times sweeter than sugar, so you need use only a very small amount to achieve the equivalent sweetness of sugar.
In most stevia-based sweeteners, a very small amount of stevia leaf extract is combined with other ingredients, like erythritol, maltodextrin or dextrose, to provide a look and feel similar to sugar. These ingredients help evenly disperse the intense sweetness of stevia leaf extract so the finished product can more easily be substituted for sugar.
Yeah I was using walmart brand pink sweetener, but they put dextrose in it. Blue, pink, yellow packets all have dextrose in them even the original brands. Spikes your blood sugar. I'll take erythritol over dextrose for that reason.
