On: We Asked Starbucks Why Their 'Sugar-Free' Drinks Have Sugar

[johnisgood]

200 g of sugar in a single cup? That is insane. US definitely has a sugar problem. :|

[mft_ → johnisgood]

Surely that’s approaching maximum saturation?

[johnisgood → mft_]

Well, sugar is extremely soluble so 200 g is not particularly close to the saturation point of a large drink, I believe? Though saturation does not really matter for the health aspect anyway which I was having an issue with. 200 g is still 200 g, or roughly 800 kcal from sugar alone. It is wild. :D

[bob1029 → mft_]

You can get something like 1 lb of sugar to dissolve into 10oz of water at room temperature.

[fizzbuzzbarbazz → mft_]

"simple syrup" is still a solution.

[thatcat → mft_]

It's temperature dependant
