Say "Sucralose" 10 times - fast!

Being American - United States American, that is... Having "no accented speech" I always thought that the Brits and Ausies sounded so smart... Here is one time that accent was really smart... (...I found this stuff in my LEAN Energy Sobe... ...which I needed because I was "bugged" awake at 3:22 am.  I never did find the little beast...)

From Wikipedia:

"Sucralose was discovered in 1976 by scientists from Tate & Lyle, working with researchers Leslie Hough and Shashikant Phadnis at Queen Elizabeth College (now part of King's College London).[4] On a late-summer day, Phadnis was told to test the powder. Phadnis thought that Hough asked him to taste it, so he did.[4] He found the compound to be exceptionally sweet, as sucralose is 600 times as sweet as sucrose."
