Question

Crystal light- does this beverage have relatively low levels of aspartame b/c of its mild taste?

Answer 1

It doesn't have relatively low levels of aspartame.  It seems like it does, because it has much less aspartame that sugar-sweetened drinks have sugar, but that's only because the aspartame compound is more reactive on the 'sweet' taste buds on your tongue.  So if you're making a powdered drink, you can use a much smaller volume of powder to get the sweetness level you want.
