Hey there, Squaxx!

Got a question for the wise hive.

Sugar is illegal in the big Meg, so what 'is' used? I'd hate to have to use 'Aspartame' when there must be a much more MC-1 term out there. But I can't remember it for the life of me.

Help?

Good question (and one I don't have an answer to).  If you don't get an answer, I'd invent something - probably playing on the words 'synthi', 'sweet' and/or 'sugar'.  Or 'psuedo' - would 'psuegar' be too difficult to decipher without explanation?

Synth-a-spartame - the artificial artificial sweetener...

I'll get me kneepads.

Ersatzpartame?

Synthisweet?  Zugar?  Synthicane?  Novasweet? 

Sweetener?

I recall a Dredd story where an illegal sugar buy went sideways when the buyers tested the merchandise and found it had been "cut with Sweetex".

Er, don't think there are any actual named brands mentioned, but synthisweet and sweetex ring a bell.

I suggest Syntharin (synthetic saccharin).
The wages of sin are death, but the hours are good and the perks are fantastic.

Is sugar still illegal? I remember that tea has been decriminalised (from that delightful Vienna & Rcio story)

Was that real tea? Or synthetic?

Dredd wouldn't stand for the real thing. Haven't you heard? All proper tea is theft.

Hopping onto the Hive Mind bandwagon: is that a Dean Ormston Dredd on the back of Megazine 2.16?
