    That one can’t be real. There’s more sugar than could physically fit in the coke can. Like no liquid, just sugar, there’s more than 12oz of sugar.

      16 to 20 teaspoons of sugar or the equivalent, in a 16 oz pop I’ve read. Can you imagine putting 10 teaspoons of sugar in a cup of coffee?

          Good god man, a single teaspoon in my tea is too much. If I do super strong tea or coffee, like 3 tea bags in a half cup, mixed with half whole milk, a full teaspoon is about right to taste.

          10 is just too much, it’s horrible for you too, even if you don’t get diabetes, it crashes your energy level, cut it out for a couple of weeks then get a big dose of sugar and you will see what it does to you.

            i’m not sure what you want me to say, it’s basic physics that if you put a larger volume of sugar into a smaller volume of water, that becomes syrup. And soda in the can is very clearly not syrup.
