How Sweet It Would Be: National Law Would Tax the Stacks Of Sugar In Soda

If you want to see something truly scary, go to the website Sugar Stacks and look at the pyramids of sugar cubes stacked up next to soda containers. That 12-ounce can of Coke (now seen as a small serving) has 10 sugar cubes next to it. The 20-ounce Mountain Dew has 19-and-a-half. And the 64-ounce Double Gulp Coke sold at 7-Eleven has 45—45!—cubes of sugar piled alongside it. That’s how many cubes or teaspoons of sugar a person consumes every time they drink one of these sodas.
