I was just looking to try this soda and it looks like regular Guarana has almost exactly the same amount of sugar as a Coke.
If anyone is interested in other sodas I recently had the chance to try Materva, a yerba mate soda, and I would recommend it if you can find the sugar free variety or have room in your life for a sugary treat.
- doodlesdev 4y agoIn which country? Coke has different amounts of added sugars in between regions to adapt to regional tastes. AFAIK the United States is the one with the most sugar, although don't quote me on that.
- jrumbut 4y agoBoth versions I checked were in the USA, but the Guarana page was in Portuguese so it may be the version in Brazil.
- wil421 4y agoWow! Almost everything has more sugar in America/North America except Thailand Sprite. https://www.actiononsugar.org/media/actiononsugar/news-centre/surveys-/2015/International-Drinks-Data.pdf https://www.actiononsugar.org/media/actiononsugar/news-centr...
- jrumbut 4y agoBy the way I got a chance to try the soda, it's very good!
- crazygringo 4y agoI was going to say. Americans have a sweet tooth but Brazilians are the world champions of adding sugar. Only place I've ever been where it's considered perfectly normal to add sugar to your orange juice in the morning. Guaraná is definitely just as sweet as American sodas. I personally find it too sweet because it doesn't have as much acid balancing it that Coke does.
- statictype 4y agoMost of Asia also adds sugar to orange juice as the raw juice taste is often bitter.
- crazygringo 4y agoI'm curious, where? I've never been to any part of Asia where drinking orange juice was common.
- mc32 4y agoOther than Tropicana which is available most “orange juice” is Asia is more similar to Sunny Delight —which is not my glass of orange juice.
- mejutoco 4y agoPresumably OP means freshly squeezed orange juice, which might taste a bit sour. I cannot imagine adding sugar to some sugar-flavored orange water like Sunny Delight. Or maybe it is that bad.
- felipelemos 4y agoI don't know about the oranges in Asia, but in Brazil they are not bitter at all. And people only put sugar in it when they are bad/old, and even then it's uncommon.
- marcosdumay 4y agoBrazilians will only add sugar to bad orange juice (it's a clear signal that they think it's bad). Did you get it in a foreigner-focused hotel? But yes our sodas have the same amount of sugar as the US ones.
- goldfeld 4y agoYes, drinking sour or acid juice makes no sense, unless a person will not take sugar because of health issues or is on a strict diet. In the same sense, drinking coffee without sweetening is a bit silly and a punch to the stomach, and provides no benefit, just a macho bragging feeling.
