I don’t know what I was thinking! I’m allergic to peaches so this was a good tasting alternative since it’s zero % juice.
… and you think that’s a good thing.
I'm allergic to eggs, so I inhale propane gas each day cause it smells the same
lol. Nice way to put it!
So, the bigger can is watered down? Or is the point that the calorie labels aren't trustworthy?
What's this about a grocery order? Powerade??
The volume of the cans are different and the price was $1.25 for the tall one. The shorter one is $1.09.
The calorie thing is another odd one because the tall one says ~~75g~~ 39g of sugar but the short says 34g.
I know they make different volumes for this so I was thinking it could be a local store order mistake.
The Powerade thing I mention is that they did the same thing 10 years ago (correct me if I’m wrong) where Powerade was 32 oz and changed them to 16 oz but kept them same price.
Edit: I’m dyslexic today apparently. Changed 75g to 39g
Right.
The 16oz can says 130 calories.
So we'd expect the 23 oz can to have 190 calories.
But it says 150... so is it watered down?
It appears the ingredients are different between the two cans.
The smaller one has corn syrup, ace k, sucralose and preservatives. The bigger one has cane sugar. The smaller one is both more calorie dense and carb dense.
473ml has been a standard size for a long time. That's not shrinkflation, that's two different sizes.
That said, fuck Coke
At first I thought it was just a different size but I think it’s more shrinkflation. If the gas station changes theirs to this size then it definitely is.
I’m pretty close to saying fuck Coca-cola as well.
Worse thing? They changed the formula and they taste like shit now.
Source, a former very VERY loyal peace tea fan.
I was about to say look at the difference in calories per ounce.
I can concur with with these statements!
Is there no label on the back stating how many kcal are there per 100ml or something?
In the US it’s by serving size, which is a non-consistent unit of measurement. They are supposed to say how many mL one serving is, however. But that leaves you to do all the math yourself.
My European mind simply cannot comprehend that people accept this shit.
This is the USA bro. We don’t have that fancy smancy stuff here. /s
The ingredients lists are different between the cans.
Ew, swapping out real sugar for high fructose corn syrup.
Yeah, sad. Peace tea used to be fairly solid.
Good call! I didn’t even notice that.
Stuff probably makes your dick shrink and gives you cancer anyway
Don’t forget the Alzheimer’s!
That's hard to do when you have Alzheimer's.
