Take that, red bull bonces!!!
The more infuriating part are sugar free energy drinks. Per definition they don't have any energy in them.

Omfg, this whole comment section is actually infuriating. Y'all motherfuckers need ~~jesus~~ Liam
Aspartame is fine, sugar won't hurt you. Just drink in moderation, and you're golden.
Stop spreading FUD.
Amazing how I’ve single handedly set this entire community on fire with this lol. I shall have to learn from this experience and do it all again.

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.
You don't need to be in a gas station to buy garbage. Most of the middle of the grocery store is garbage.
FYI a most sodas are 50-80 grams of sugar.

Soda isn't meant for human consumption, but the marketing is strong
To be fair, if you look at sugar contents, even the "healthy" fruit juices are filled with them. In fact, many argue that a fruit juice is not as healthy as they tell us because while you get some of the good nutrients of fruit in them (when they are 100% and not from concentrate), you also get a huge intake of sugar that goes quickly into your blood. When you eat fruit, you take the same amount of sugar but you need to digest the fruit first, making it slower to absorb. It's a good practice to drink a fruit juice accompanied by something to eat so you don't get the sugar rush.
Like so many things in life, I think it's safest to file under "everything in moderation."
39 grams of sugar in a 12 oz can of Coke.
