So much sugar in drinks! Impossible?

Question

In a bottle of Pepsi, there's 28 grams of sugar. In a can of Hawaiian juice drink, there's 31 grams of sugar.

If 4 grams of sugar amounts to 1 sugar cube, how is it possible for all that sugar to exist in that bottle or can? Are there really 14 sugar cubes inside that bottle of Pepsi?

Answer 1

sugar dissolves! it doesn't raise the volume much in a dissolved state.

Answer 2

you better believe it!!!  please cut out drinking any type of coke. It is not good for you. People guzzle down sugar everyday and it is taking a toll on our waste lines

Answer 3

Yes there are.  Why do you think acid tastes so good?

Answer 4

Because they are melted.

Answer 5

A sugar cube takes up more space than dissolved sugar.  There is a lot of air in a sugar cube or granulated sugar as far as that goes.  Melt a sugar cube and it isn't much.  But yes, you can get that much sugar and more in canned or bottled drinks.
