i'm going to find out with a mini-test here.
right above my desk on a window shelf is a planter with a really old pencil
plant.  i always have these really tiny ants on my desk, less in winter, and
now that they're more active i see they live in this planter.
i'll be picking up some aspartame packets when i can and will try it...

i don't *always* believe snopes any more than i always believe or disbelieve
quackwatch.
