Why does sugar taste so strong?

I went sugar free for 2 weeks and today I bought coffee with 2 sugars 2 cream.... and it was sickenly sweet before it wasn't when I regularly had sugar in the past

Cream is quite sweet by itself... you added the sugar without testing to see if it was to your taste first and made it oversweet for your liking.

At least, that's how I think that it happened...

[@Becksta that could be true . I'm only letting my self have a beverage of choice every Saturday. So I will try next time coffee with just sugar
