It’s an old drink from the 70s or 80s, i think it may have been discontinued for awhile before and brought back. It’s not great from what i remember. Taste like weak bubblegum i think?

Being the first diet drink was pretty much all it had going for it.
(I mean, it had its own particular flavor/mix of artificial flavors, somewhere under the broad 'cola' umbrella, but not one that ever grabbed me.)
Also, the original recipe was sweetened with saccharine. You know, the stuff that (1) became synonymous with "fake sweetness" and (2) turned out to cause cancer?

til saccharine was an actual chemical and not just an archaic word that meant "overly sweet"
Saccharin was produced first in 1879, by Constantin Fahlberg, a chemist working on coal tar derivatives in Ira Remsen's laboratory at Johns Hopkins University. Fahlberg noticed a sweet taste on his hand one evening, and connected this with the compound benzoic sulfimide on which he had been working that day.

Licking your fingers while making something else seems to be a trend.
Aspartame was discovered in 1965 by James M. Schlatter, a chemist working for G.D. Searle & Company. Schlatter had synthesized aspartame as an intermediate step in generating a tetrapeptide of the hormone gastrin, for use in assessing an anti-ulcer drug candidate. He discovered its sweet taste when he licked his finger, which had become contaminated with aspartame, to lift up a piece of paper.

Good thing he wasn’t working with elemental sodium!

True! That's how Albert Hoffman discovered giant teleporting rainbow-colored spiders.

Isn't that still a thing in the field to determine mineral vs fossil, you lick it and one tastes salty and the other does not?

Pulled out first crop of home grown beetroots today. One of the healthiest vegetables around. So of course I used them to make chocolate and beetroot cake.

Tried one. It's pretty tasty, but quite dense. My cakes are always more like puddings. I'm not good at light, delicate cakes. Mary Berry would probably not approve.

I like a chocolate mudcake so dense it has smaller cakes orbiting around it, so that all sounds fine to me!

I assume you're using cake flour and not AP flour? There's a significant difference between the two when it comes to crumb density.

Good GRAVY
It's made from coal and is 300 times sweeter than sucrose!
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

and today I learned that, oops, we found out it doesn't actually do that in humans (just rats) and it's legal again now!
(proof, I suppose, that in some ways I'm still living in the 70s. :P )
it's not a chemical name, just a brand name based on the archaic word
