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.

You can just drink the sugar free one and get alzheimers from the aspartame instead.

Omfg, this whole comment section is actually infuriating. Y’all motherfuckers need jesus @theplantslant2431@www.youtube.com Aspartame is fine, sugar won’t hurt you. Just drink in moderation, and you’re golden. Stop spreading FUD.

The more infuriating part are sugar free energy drinks. Per definition they don’t have any energy in them.

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.

Pet peeve… sugar doesn’t give you diabetes.

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
