Plenty of people did and found that it did not do anything to them. The origin of the claim that aspartame is an ant poison was this article.

There is no evidence of aspartame being harmful to ants. Dust them with some black pepper and see what happens.

My evidence is what I saw with my own eyes. Specifically, I used a pack of canderel, if anyone would like to repeat the experiment.
