what if we labeled juice, soda, tea etc with % sugars by volume like how we do with ABV?

I picked up 24 oz "Green Tea" from the convenience store earlier. I forgot to check how sweet it was, 60g added sugars in the 706.8ml beverage. So this is like 8.5% sugar (g/ml). Obviously that's napkin math but this is showerthoughts, not theydidthemath #showerthoughts

Did you know about Alternative Nation? Lemmy's largest active alternative music community? - Lemmy.world

[email protected] [/c/[email protected]] I love the Fediverse and have been promoting Lemmy & our alternative music community on Mastodon for over a month now. It’s getting pretty active and we are sharing all kinds of music from 80s college rock to today’s indie every day. But somehow it seems lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] hasn’t heard yet! Nearly 1000 subscribers on lemmy.world, but like 17 from lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml]? Oh fediverse, you minx you. Well, time to change that! I’m spreading the good word for alternative music fans to join & share. Lemmy: [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] Post from Mastodon: @[email protected] or rawdog link: https://lemmy.world/c/alternativenation [https://lemmy.world/c/alternativenation] Hope to see you there!
