sugar?

> At first, this appears to be an absurd question--but a 12 oz can of
regular Pepsi contains 41 grams of sugar, which is more than ten four gram
packets of sugar. So if you want to sweeten your coffee to the same level as
a can of Pepsi, you would need to add more than ten packets of sugar.
> If you drink one can of Pepsi each day, you will have consumed
approximately 33 pounds of sugar during a one year period.

delivered Pepsi in a previous job, made a comment about how much more the
regular cans of Pepsi weighed compared to the Diet Pepsi.
