Do you have a source for that Coca Cola claim? Just curious.
- zzleeper 9y agoI'm not op but the claim is pretty well known. Just count the grams of sugar in any coke bottle.
- danielbln 9y agoThis article lists coca cola (and pepsi) having 9 teaspoosn of sugar per 330ml (a can's worth), so 17 per bottle seems sound: https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2014/jun/12/how-much-sugar-is-in-your-fizzy-drink https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2014/jun/12/how-mu...
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoTry finding just a can of coke these days in the states, it’s hard. Everyone wants to sell a half a liter or more.
- jpindar 9y agoIn addition to every grocery store I'm familiar with, there are three convenience stores in walking distance of me right now, and they all sell 12 oz. cans of soda.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoThe 7-11 across the street doesn't. The Safeway or the QFC doesn't where I live in Bellevue unless you want to buy a case. I live in Bellevue now, the same was true in Westwood LA, the only place you could actually get single cans was the vending machines on UCLA campus.
- paulie_a 9y agoAnecdotal but pretty much every grocery store I've been to sells them and also those smaller cans that are 1/2 to 2/3s the size of a regular one.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoAs singles? The stores around me sell them in multiples (by the case or pack), you can't just walk into safeway and buy a can of coke (normal or smaller size).
- liveoneggs 9y agoa 20oz coke bottle has 65g of sugar / 4.2 = 15.4 teaspoons
- OfficerGuac 9y agoIf they marked teaspoons instead of grams on the nutrition labels, I wonder how many people would be swayed away by that approach. That's a mind-boggling number.
