[4] Sweet'n Low is manufactured and distributed in the United States by Cumberland Packing Corporation, which also produces Sugar in the Raw and Stevia in the Raw, and in the United Kingdom by Dietary Foods Ltd. Sweet'n Low has been licensed to Bernard Food Industries for a line of low-calorie baking mixes.
Saccharin was discovered in 1878 by Constantin Fahlberg, a chemist working on coal tar derivatives at the Johns Hopkins University.
Around 2005, Cumberland Packing Corporation made a sponsorship deal with Metro Goldwyn Mayer related to the 2006 film The Pink Panther.
[8][9][10] By 2010, the cartoon panther had been replaced by a motif reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s (which their newly-hired advertising agency, Mother, believed had returned to fashion in the 2010s), in an effort to broaden the brand's appeal to customers outside of its traditional demographic of women aged 45 and older.
[9][10] The agency felt that previous advertising, using Regis Philbin and the Pink Panther, borrowed the brand equity of other properties instead of claiming cultural relevance of its own.
