    While out shopping the other day I came across a  store  that
made  its  money  selling coffee (ground and perked).  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.
