The origins of Splenda can be traced back to 1972, where researchers at a British college were creating a formula for a new compound made from sugar. That compound became the sweet, calorie-free sweetener Splenda has been providing since 1992 as a healthy alternative to giving your beverages that extra, tasty kick. Their range today encompasses a variety of sweeteners, creamers, and more, making Splenda a true pantry staple.
