The original selling point was partly that it wasn’t aspartame,

Was it? I thought it was just an angle to use a better tasting sweetener than Aspertame. Sucrolose tastes much closer to sugar than Aspertame does, probably because Sucrolose's chemical structure is very close to sucrose.

Yeah some of the Diet brands were running as "aspartame free" when it was gaining popularity
