TRIVIA TIME!
Last month, we asked for the name of the first nationally marketed sugar-free soft drink.
ANSWER: Plenty of people mentioned “Tab” and “Fresca” but the first one was called “No-Cal”. It was introduced in New York in 1952 and quickly spread across the country. Unfortunately, it used a chemical called sodium cyclamate as its sweetener, which was banned by the FDA in 1970.

A few years ago, we discovered that Scott Malkinson (of South Park) has T1D. But there is another animated character with T1, on my fav-time fav show, The Simpsons. Who is it?
