How is Prime so sweet?

Prime is sweet primarily because it uses artificial sweeteners instead of traditional sugars like table sugar or high fructose corn syrup.

Prime drinks achieve their sweet taste through the inclusion of sucralose, an artificial sweetener. This differs from many other beverages that rely on natural sugars or high fructose corn syrup for sweetness. According to information available, "Prime drinks contain sucralose, an artificial sweetener, rather than table sugar or high fructose corn syrup."

While artificial sweeteners like sucralose provide sweetness without the calories associated with sugar, it's worth noting the associated context provided by the reference: "But artificial sweeteners (sometimes called non-nutritive sweeteners, or NNS) may not be a safe alternative, especially for kids." This highlights an important point about the type of sweetener used, although it doesn't change why the drink tastes sweet (the presence of the sweetener).

Here's a quick comparison:

By utilizing sucralose, Prime delivers a sweet profile without adding sugar-based calories.
