They had a sign by their coffee cups saying that if you wanted Sweet'n'Low or Equal, to just ask. Being an avid net-reader, I couldn't resist asking which was more popular. SnL is a cyclamate/dextrose combination, Equal is aspartame. I was told that they are doing a survey for the people who market Equal in Canada to see which was more popular. In the 5 days they had been running the survey, the results were: Equal: 76 (12,15,13,18,18) SnL: 15 (6,3,5,1,0) There is absolutely nothing on display to bias you toward one or the other. There are actually two identical looking signs with the sweeteners names on, each saying to ask for the sweetener if you want it. I am curious what the net-preference is. I prefer Aspartame to any other artificial sweetener. I would like to collect responses and I will summarize if there is enough interest. -- --- Stephen Perelgut --- {decvax!utzoo,linus}!utcsrgv!perelgut {cornell,watmath,floyd,allegra,uw-beaver,ubc-vision,ihnp4}!utcsrgv!perelgut
