Where 950 fits
Why 950 is special
It is combined with aspartame or sucralose because each has a different aftertaste, and mixing them masks both. Sweetener blends are formulated around defects rather than strengths.

In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
9 coils of rope, 5 hobbles
9 × 100 + 5 × 10 = 950. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
1 corner wedge + 5 vertical wedges (sixties place), 5 corner wedges (units place)
15 × 60 + 50 = 950. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
sampi, then nu, marked as a numeral
sampi-nu + keraia
sampi + nu written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.
Hebrew numerals
tav, then tav, then qof, then nun
tav-tav-qof-nun
tav (400) + tav (400) + qof (100) + nun (50) = 950, written in descending order.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Sucralose and acesulfame K are frequently blended, since their sweetness profiles compensate for each other.

There are about 950 million tonnes of milk produced each year. Figure as of 2023. Most adults worldwide lose the ability to digest lactose after infancy; the populations that keep it are the ones with long dairying histories, which is why milk consumption maps onto ancestry rather than onto wealth.
DocumentedEveryday lifeGeography: worldwideAcesulfame K is rarely used alone because of its aftertaste; combined with other sweeteners each masks the other's flaw. The blend is chosen for what it cancels rather than what it adds.

What is 950 in Roman numerals?
