Ever wonder why your favorite zero-sugar soda still tastes sweet? Or how sugar-free snacks keep their flavor without adding calories? The answer might be hidden in the label — in a little-known ingredient called acesulfame potassium, or Ace-K.

In this episode of History of Simple Things, we explore what acesulfame potassium actually is, why it’s used in soft drinks, baked goods, and even toothpaste, and how it works. From its surprising discovery in the 1960s to its powerful sweetness and calorie-free profile, Ace-K plays a big role in modern food science — even though most of us have never heard of it.
We’ll also talk about how safe it is, how it compares to other artificial sweeteners, and even where it’s showing up in our environment. If you care about what goes into your food — or you just love decoding what’s behind the label — this one’s for you.
