The sugar content was 35g. I stacked them everyday so as far as I remember this was the norm at the time for a one serving in California.&lt;p&gt;Only a couple months ago, I started looking at the labels of sodas again. The content varies from 39g to 55g in California.&lt;p&gt;I was recently in Utah, and I took a picture of label of ginger ale. I compared it to the exact same can in California, the one in CA has less sugar content.</text></comment>

Just looked at my girlfriend&amp;#x27;s Starbucks Chai tea container. 100g sugar! She would be better off drinking a bottle of Coke. And Starbucks are supposed to be good guys .&lt;p&gt;On a related note: how do they get that much sugar into these drinks? If I made a liter of Chai tea and poured 100g sugar into it I don&amp;#x27;t think it would be drinkable.</text></comment>
