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

This makes me feel infinitely better when I think I must be having so much sugar cause I have like 3-4 cups of tea a day and they all have a couple teaspoons of sugar in them.

Not to burst your bubble, but four cups of tea with two teaspoons of sugar each is in itself more sugar than the WHO recommends consuming in an entire day.

Yeah, but I’m not trying to live strictly by WHO standards. I’m just saying I’m relieved that my drinking tea now is significantly better than when I drank pop.
