The fact is that Sweet’n’Low, while the best of the sweeteners, puts two servings in one packet. Perhaps other people are putting their unused second halves back, so as not to feel wasteful. I’m not condoning the practice; I’m just llooking for an explanation. > [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > At least Equal doesn’t taste like absolute ass.

A guy in our office also noticed this, and got a sheet of paper and taped all the opened packets to the paper with a note and posted it above the coffee pot. It was funny, and it worked. No one leaves the half opened wrappers in with the new ones anymore. ---
