Should Mountain Dew be a soda that is worth steering clear from? Most likely, yes.īut if you want more caffeine and a sugar-free alternative, you may consider other options like Pepsi Zero or even Diet Mountain Dew.Įven then, there are still plenty of sodas on the market that are loaded with sugars. There has long been a discussion about the difference between total and added sugars and why they are being labeled, to begin with.

Looking at these bottles alone, a 20-ounce bottle is just over double of what you need.

A 20-ounce bottle has almost 20 teaspoons of sugar. And finally, a 2-liter bottle will yield 276 grams of sugar.Īgain, that’s a lot of sugar for the daily value. You get 60 extra grams of sugar up to a half liter. A liter will have less than double the amount with 124g in one bottle. A 12-ounce can have 46 grams of sugar, and a 16-ounce can have 61 grams of sugar.Ī 20-ounce bottle will have a whopping 77 grams of sugar in one bottle. The short answer to this question will depend on the size of the container.
