i was thinking of this thread last night as i sipped on a hi C juice box. I flipped over the 6.75 ounce box and found it contained 25 grams of sugar...

So if you take the 25g of sugar divide by 6.75 you get the number of grams in 1 ounce. Multiply by 8 which is what the Mt dew is at and you get 29.624g; round up (like they would on a can) and you get 30. So why the fuck isnt Hi C getting a warning label?

I mean heaven forbid you drink these instead of soda.

Granted a full 12 ounce can of dew has something on the order of 46g, but who the hell only drinks one of those little fucking things.
