Friend tonight pulled out a pack of chewing gum. Was in the process of unwrapping one when I said to him,don't you know it contains aspartame. His reply was.....what! Then started reading the ingredients. Went through each one till Phenylalanine came up,another word for aspartame. At that he put the pack back in his pocket. Told him to give the pack to his other friend,though not sure he has the heart to go there
