I still encounter restaurants, fast food chains, and food and beverage companies who have never heard of Splenda, the only good-tasting artificial sweetener available in the US.

At McDonalds, the lady at the drive thru window confessed that many of her customers are asking for Splenda, but the company won't buy any.

And Coca-Cola has actually come out with a new diet soda that is sweetened with (drum roll) aspartame! Fortunately Pepsi products mostly have switched over.
