Sweet'n'low packets are very common, and so are an easy way for anyone to get saccharin just by reaching into a jar.
Interestingly though, here in Canada, Sweet'n'Low is sodium cyclamate. Saccharin continues to be banned here as a food additive because of that (now long believed to be flawed) 1970's research which linked it to cancer.
I had no idea that Sweet'n'Low is saccharin south of the border!
Further, when Equal introduced saccharin and sucralose packets a few years back, it produced them in exactly the same color as Sweet n Low and Splenda, meaning that consumers can continue to just reach for the pink packet or yellow packet to get what they expect. There was some question about trademark infringement, I recall from somewhere. So, yeah, in the US, "pink" means saccharin.
The current status of saccharin is that it is allowed in most countries, and countries like Canada have lifted their previous ban of it as a food additive
