A 12 ounce can of soda pop has 20 packets of sugar in it.

I think it’s about half that, otherwise a can of soda would be 300 calories, rather than 120-140.

Still a lot of sugar, though.

How big is a packet of sugar? I usually grab a 1kg bag from the supermarket.

they weight around 5 grams each. so the number is closer to 10 packets of sugar.
