The percentage isn't a percent of the can, it's a percent of your "Daily Value" which is how much an average person is supposed to have in a day. 100% means it contains the amount you are supposed to have in a day. Not that the can is 100% sugar. So a soda that has 50% DV has the same amount of sugar as bread that has a serving marked as 50% DV.

    That’s interesting, I hadn’t known that. But given the maximum daily intake of sugar is around 40 g, I guess that would make sense mathematically. May I ask, is that percentage purely in terms of mass, or is it also in terms of calories?
