Look at the ingredients in gum and candy by the checkout. You can barely find ANY that doesn't have aspartame or some artificial sweetener in it, even the not sugar free stuff! They use artificial sweeteners in everything now too, even regular sugary gum. Aspartame is terrible and all that artificial stuff gives me heartburn so I avoid it. But you can't even get a good pack of sugary sweet gum anymore without artificial sweeteners. Breath mints too. I think altoids are about the only thing, if you don't mind the horse hoof gelatin they are made with.
Companies that make that stuff must figure if you are already eating things bad for you, you won't notice anyways. People never read ingredients.
