Starbucks has 3x the sugar of a whole Coke in some drinks
What a clickbate...<p>It&#x27;s probably important to note that it&#x27;s not only &quot;flavored&quot; drinks, milk has quite a bit of sugar in it naturally, the &quot;special&quot; milk which is used by some coffee places has about 9% fat and 2-3% carbohydrates which makes it worse than coke on it&#x27;s own, normal whole&#x2F;semi-skimmed&#x2F;skimmed(skimmed usually have higher amounts of sugar to make it not taste like well the water it is) milk has about 5g per 100g of sugar which is more than half the sugar content in coke, so when you add even a &quot;bit&quot; of sugar to a milk based drink you get well more sugar than what coke has for the same volume.<p>It&#x27;s also probably worth noting that a Starbucks &quot;Venti&quot; size is more than double the the volume of a coke can to begin with so about 680ml (espresso shot which is used as the base is only about 30ml) of milk + couple of sugar spoons to make it sweet can easily get to 2-3 times the amount of sugar in coke without even having to go overboard with crap like whipped cream and syrups.
