This carries as much as three stomachs worth of liquid

Thanks to RD for this one...


... given the average human stomach holds between 32 and 64 ounces... and refills are just $1.89... I do not even have to point out the name is too far down the alphabet for this to be a noteworthy item... let us simply show what this means for those of you who do not 'think' in US fl oz...

100 US fl oz = 0.78125 US gallons = 2.95735296 liters = 5.20421151 Imperial pints

That is 1.5 CUPS = 192 g = of pure sugar = 1,200 calories

What does that mean visually?


With the bottles above we have...

12 oz (355 ml) Can: Sugars, total: 39g; Calories, total: 140; Calories from sugar: 140*
20 oz (590 ml) Bottle: Sugars, total: 65g; Calories, total: 240; Calories from sugar: 240
1 Liter (34 oz) Bottle: Sugars, total: 108g; Calories, total: 400; Calories from sugar:400


Now, given the above information, go here and read what the store manager says...

I say "WTF?"
