Njengoba kunikezwe lo mbhalo oyisithenjwa, kungani futhi nini i-Coke yasebenzisa i-Splenda njengesithasiselo se-diet Coke?
Context:Lapho ama-colas e-diet efika emakethe okokuqala, eqala nge-Diet Rite, i-Coca-Cola Company yayinenqubomgomo esinesikhathi eside yokusebenzisa igama le-Coca-Cola kuphela ku-cola yayo eyinhloko, ngakho-ke i-cola yayo ye-diet yaqanjwa ngokuthi iTab lapho ikhishwa ngo-1963. Umncintiswano wayo uPepsi wawungenakho ukuzisola okunjalo, futhi ngemuva kokuthi impumelelo yesikhathi eside ye-Diet Pepsi yayo engenashukela (ethulwe ngo-1964) yaba sobala, iCoca-Cola yanquma ukwethula umkhiqizo wokuncintisana ongenashukela ngaphansi kwegama leCoca-Cola elingathengiswa kalula kuneTab. I-Diet Coke yethulwa ngo-1982 futhi yasheshe yadlula i-Tab ngokuthengisa ngomehluko omkhulu, yize isiphuzo esidala sasizohlala emakethe amashumi eminyaka kuze kube yilapho ubhadane lwe-COVID-19 luphoqa i-Coca-Cola ukuthi iyeke iTab kanye nezinye iziphuzo ezithengisa kancane ngo-2020.  I-Diet Coke ayisekelwe ekwakhiweni kwe-Coca-Cola, kodwa esikhundleni salokho isekelwe ku-Tab. I-New Coke eyayidonsa impikiswano, eyethulwa ngo-1985, yayisebenzisa uhlobo lwe-Diet Coke olwalune-fructose ephezulu yesiraphu yommbila futhi lwalunokulinganisela okuhlukile kancane kwezithako. Ngo-2005, inkampani yethule i-Coca-Cola Zero (eyaqanjwa kabusha ngokuthi i-Coca-Cola Zero Sugar ngo-2017), ifomula engenashukela esuselwa kakhulu ku-Coca-Cola yoqobo.  Ngo-2005, ngaphansi kwengcindezi evela kumthengisi we-Walmart (owahlatshwa umxhwele ukuthandwa kwe-Splenda sweetener), inkampani yakhipha ukwakheka okusha okubizwa ngokuthi "i-Diet Coke enoshukela nge-Splenda". I-sucralose ne-acesulfame potassium esikhundleni se-aspartame kule nguqulo. Njengoba ukwakheka kwakwenzelwe ukuthambisa umthengisi oyedwa, lolu hlobo lwalunokukhangisa nokukhuthaza okuncane, njengoba inkampani yakhetha ukumaketha iCoca-Cola Zero esikhundleni salokho. Ngasekupheleni kuka-2009, iningi labasabalalisi laliyeke ukusabalalisa i-Splenda-formulated Diet Coke.  Ngo-2018, emzamweni wokuthakazelisa kakhulu izinkulungwane zeminyaka, i-Diet Coke yafakwa ebhodweni eliphakeme, elincanyana (lomthamo ofanayo) futhi yethulwa ukunambitheka okusha okune. Amathini abuyela esimweni sawo esivamile ngemva konyaka.
Ingcindezi evela eWalmart yacindezela iCoca-Cola ukuthi ikhiphe inguqulo ye-Coke yokudla enoshukela ngeSplenda kusukela ngo-2005 kwaze kwaba yilapho iningi lokusabalalisa liphela ngo-2009.
