Acesulfame-K and friends is normally used in small amounts with aspartame; individually they both taste bloody awful, particularly Acesulfame K, but together they taste borderline acceptable.

Must say I wasn't aware there was so much sucralose in use.

A personal guilty pleasure is sugar-free red bull. Sorbitol, Sucralose, Ace-k unfortunately.
Huh, how much sorbitol do they put in it?! I thought that one was mostly only used in low-volume applications, because in large volumes, it's a laxative (AIUI this is why you rarely see sugar alcohols used as sweeteners in drinks.)
