In unrelated news - NYC Health Department fails at math.

Coke has ~40 Grams of sugar in a 12 oz can
X 365 days a year
÷ 454 grams/lb
= 32 lbs

Granted 32 lbs of sugar is still alot (and I was liberally rounding) but it’s about 20lb short of 50

I’m going to caution that the labeling on a can of coke speaks of the information per serving. A serving is 6oz - half a can. If one consumes the entire can, the ingested amounts will be double the listed amount.
