Talk:Sweet'n Low

Health concerns

Is there a downside to using Sweet'N Low? Are there any health problems caused (directly or indirectly) by (overuse?) Sweet'N Low ?

The concern would be with Saccharin itself, and that page has pretty good coverage on said health concerns. Since this page links to Saccharin, there's probably no need to duplicate that information here. Dfrauzel 23:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to add that Sweet N Low is a delicious sweetener and can be found at your local Vons or Kroger supermarket.

Happy?

I just wanted to add that this is not a forum for general discussion and that I, like most people on Wikipedia, don't have a local Vons or Kroger supermarket anyways. Eebster the Great (talk) 01:12, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Trademark WARS

Sweet'N Low (why capitalized 'N instead of 'n'?) should be a Genericized trademark like Kleenex. (In my professional opinion.)

I thought it was

I don't think so. I'd have to see some evidence it's typically used to mean "artificial sweetener." In my experience, Splenda is the more common synecdoche. Twin Bird (talk) 03:37, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Silica Gel

Okay, so you're not supposed to eat the delicious looking silica gel packets that come with your shoes, but Sweet'n Low has silica gel in it. What gives? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.104.57.14 (talk) 18:00, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposing a move.

Since the name is trademarked as "Sweet'N Low," why don't we have it as such? I can't think of a reason not to move this, but I'll leave this up a bit.

There's a slightly bizarre section above (#3) that appears to have been the reason for moving it in the first place, but there doesn't seem to be any reason other than "it shouldn't be that way." Twin Bird (talk) 03:39, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Brand name derivation

It beggars belief that the name comes from an 1863 song rather than the song "Lida Rose" from The Music Man, a huge Broadway hit from the very same year that Sweet 'N Low was introduced (1957).

Or maybe the Missouri Waltz? 2605:A601:80B:9D01:98D1:C8B4:2C0C:44D1 (talk) 02:12, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

It’s clear that the name came from The Music Man, not the obscure 100-year-prior song referenced in the article. A link to the Tennessean poem is provided as a “reference.” Making the change. 173.31.198.16 (talk) 17:17, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Bitter'n Low

Why is there no reference as to the fact that its bitter taste way overpowers what little sweetness it actually has? The fact that it's colloquially known as Bitter'n Low? How aspartame was only invented because the only artificial "sweetener" in existence at the time was actually bitter? I mean, this thing reads like an advertisement for failing to mention its bitter taste.68.42.32.128 (talk) 04:25, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
