I had a discussion with a friend today over what had more sugar... a 2 liter bottle of Coke, or a gallon of sweet tea that has 2 cups of sugar in it...
Does anyone know which one has more sugar?
I know the calories for an 8 ounce serving is 100 The sodium grams are 35 The Sugar grams are 27
But how many cups of sugar would be in the Coke?
I really think that you would have to break it down like this...
If you make the tea yourself, you would use 3 or 4 family size tea bags to 1 gallon of water.
Then you would put 2 cups of regular granulated sugar in your pitcher. Thus having "Sweet Tea". (That's how I make it).
Now, take a bottle of Coke...I personally do not have a bottle to read off the ingredients, but it is not pure "Sugar".
Not the same type of sugar that you would use for your "Sweet Tea".
I do know that the main source of their "Sugar" is High-Fructose Corn Syrup.
I cannot begin to tell you what actually goes into a regular 2 liter bottle of Coke.
What I can tell you though is that as a former "seat-cover" for my boyfriend who is a truck driver, you need a HAZMAT endorsement on your license to haul the CHEMICALS that comprise soda.
So, I hope that I have semi-answered your question.
Well there is 12 teaspoons of sugar in a 12oz can of coke so you do the math..lol Peace..
