Does artificial sweetner attract ants?

As I sponged off the counters this morning, I discovered that I accidentally spilled a little Equal on the counter from when I had my morning coffee. And that got me wondering...does Nutrasweet/Splenda/Sweet&Low/etc. attract ants like sugar does?

I would assume not because it has a different chemical formula than sugar, but it tastes sweet...so I wasn't sure.

It dissolves better than sugar in coffee and other beverages (iced tea, etc.). I don't care about the calories, they're inconsequential to me. As proof, I use full-sugar, full-fat french vanilla creamer in my coffee too, but I just like artificial sweetners because they dissolve better.

Uhh...save her a few hundred calories a day, or maybe prevent her from going into a diabetic shock?

Anyway, I don't know. I would say not because I'm betting ants are attractied to the scent of sugar, and artifical sweetener probably has a different scent to them.

I don't know about the ants, damn good question though.
I drink diet pop, have for years. I just like it better than regular pop. It doesn't have anythink to do with a diet, never did. My wife uses nutrasweet in her iced tea when we go to restaurants for the same reason you do.

Yeah, but guys are attracted by visual cues, not tactile ones :p
i'm gonna say bs to that... think about it.

Wha??

Guys are attracted first to visual cues. This is why porn is so popular for guys, and sex toys are so popular for women.

Yes, they wanna touch. But they only wanna touch something that visually stimulates them first.

This is why fake boobs on women are so popular among guys, even though they feel like crap.

Yeah, if they're on a woman that we SEE. Otherwise more people would just buy silicon bags and masturbate to that.

I'm sorry if you have some and I have insulted you. :(

But...

Every fake pair I have felt were no where near natural feeling. And in a majority of women who had them, they lost some, if not all nipple sensation. Plus, to me, they usually don't even look natural... and it's a big turn off.

I'll take real, floppy boobs any day over fake, hard as a rock boobs.
