Take that, red bull bonces!!!
actually according to their website it’s 27g of sugars. What I found even funnier (or worse) though is this
Makes it look like RB has less sugar than juice, but we’re comparing 100ml of the bull to 250ml of juice. FFS
Possibly two different people rounded it differently.
I just got the stats off this page on their website
Yeah it’s not good when big companies like that make such misleading comparisons
It’s the same as any soda. Around 10% of the drink like coca cola or Pepsi.
Wait why are you not drinking red bull zero
Because it’s disgusting. The aftertaste and the way it coats my mouth is just nasty.
I thought that the sugar industry worked really hard to ensure they didn’t have to show a daily % amount on the right across from the grams listing. I have never seen a % there before. Crazy.
Maybe it’s just my state, but I’ve seen the percent there on pretty much everything I can think of.
Reminder, the percent isnt the percent of the can, it’s the percent of the “recommend daily value” (which is what the %DV at the top means) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_Daily_Intake
The slogan, “RedBull gives you Wings” needs an asterisk. It only applies to those who are grated into heaven after they die of diabeetus
This comment made my shit night
That means I can drink two!
“Nah im not tired or insomniac i just love consuming 3 cans of bull piss every single day it tastes just good”As someone who grew up avoiding sugar and having to look at the back of everything this would have been relatively low in sugar compared to other products sold in that same store in my area. In the South of the US you would have a hard time finding something lower than sprite and or tea(~35g)without alternative synthetic sweeteners like aspertain and sucralose or just water and those options used to be sparce. A lot of times a convenience store would only have diet coke, unsweet tea, or water unless I was okay with 30+ grams of sugar. I’m not saying that it’s okay to have that much sugar, but it definitely seems far out of the way from some of the much lower hanging fruit. For example even Gatorade and Powerade have more sugar per package unit and those were available via vending machines IN the school. Also, pretty much every fast-food drink station makes you choose between water, unsweetened tea, or something with almost 50g of sugar when in a can.
50g??? Damn, that is bad
Nah it’s just the total amount of the calories that is from suger. It only … hmm… only has 26g of sugars in it.
That was kinda the ceiling seemed like everyone was trying to avoid. So a lot of 48 and 49. But all might as well have been surge to me. …Surge had 56g a can if I recall.
Just looked at the Mexican coke I just finished drinking 😭 39g sugar…
When you visualize it like this, it makes you think twice about grabbing that sugary beverage. Having said that, I still like a red bull here and there, and sugar free just ain’t the same.
Edit removed slop, changed pic
Hmm, according to this graphic 7 == 9 == 10 > 14. I see LLMs still can’t do math
Yeah, I fucking hate the post AI Internet. I used to be able to find the relevant image when I searched it up, not AI garbage.
That’s not even the worst thing: his first image that he posted had a Frappuccino labelled as ‘mountain dew’ not a joke
Um… excuse me, but isn’t Mountain Dew that pop drink in america? Why tf is Frappuccino labeled as Mountain Dew?
I didn’t notice that. Probably slop. Here’s a better image
Here’s one of the total amount of sugar in a Monster Zero Sugar.
Fair enough, although it would be better with numerical measurements
There are few drinks that I can’t stand the smell of but Redbull just smells fucking disgusting.
You probably shouldn’t look at the sugar in the sweet tea from McDonald’s then…
Actually, I believe I know it despite not living in America: isn’t it 29 grams of sugar for a large?
Ooooo… don’t tempt me… McDonald’s has a memeable slogan too…
On second thought: I think Spurlock beat me to it (because he was telling the tru- oh wait…)
I mean, diabetes also gives you wings?
That is a lot of sugar, but to be fair, go to your local convenience store (if you’re in the US) and look at the back of just about any drink for sale aside from bottled water and you’ll be hard pressed to find drinks that aren’t just as bad.
To be clear, that means they are all terrible for you. I think that’s pretty much universally true of anything you can buy in a gas station.
Hey hey now, leave my bath salts alone.
As the old southern ladies say: I got dem sugars from the Red Bull.
39 grams of sugar in a 12 oz can of Coke.
As a caffeine source, I would argue the bigger problem is a missed opportunity to get the phytonutrients in coffee or tea. For most people, their daily coffee might very well be the only source of polyphenols they get that day.
