That's why so many of us regulars on ASDLC are puzzled about it.

And hasn't any patent expired already? There are generics
available. I know I bought one a few years ago at Walmart
for example.

If there are generics on the market either some other manufacturing
method has been developed or the patent ran out. Seventeen years ago
would have been 1995. I didn't start low carbing until 1999. Splenda
seemed new to me at the time. A four year error bar on "seemed new"
during a time when I was not low carbing? Sure.
