what if we labeled juice, soda, tea etc with % sugars by volume like how we do with ABV? (kbin.social)

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

I mean there’s the x g of sugar/100 g of product which is exactly the same as a weight percentage so if people aren’t braindead it’s easy

That's a regional thing I think. I've never seen it in the US. But it seems like they are hell bent on obfuscating information wherever possible.

I think it's standard in the EU
