  • Thanks for posting this Eliana -- I know there's a lot of sugar there but have always had trouble imaging tsps or tblsps because it's written in grams. This is great for getting some perspective.
  • Wow! I have seen the calorie comparison before, but not with the tsp of sugar. That really puts things in perspective. Thanks for sharing this!
  • Me too!
  • WOW! This really inspires me to drink more water Thanks for sharing!

    Usually, zero.
  • This is great. I used to drink 72-120 ounces of mountain dew EVERY DAY! The thought makes me cringe now.
  • Very eye openning!
  • I used to easily drink a 2 liter of pepsi a day...but in general it's gross to think about how much sugar I used to consume in a day.
