Let’s run with a couple of facts here. The calorie you’re referring to is a nutritional calorie, which is actually 1 kilocalorie. Let’s also assume this is a 12 ounce can, which would weigh 355 grams. 140,000 kcal per 355 grams gives this drink an energy density of 394.37 kcal per gram. That’s 1,650 kilojoules per gram.

The energy density of gasoline is 46.4 kJ per gram.

This stuff has about 36 times the energy density of the stuff that power cars.

Sounds about right for the average American diet.

So what I’m hearing is I should run my car on this stuff and drink gasoline.

  Fun fact: a single serving of Gasoline has enough calories to last you the rest of your life.

Is that why rolling coal is so common in America, except its actually the occupants farting?

I knew the number was beyond fucked but thank you for putting it in perspective.

  A gram of u-235 has 20 billion calories. You’ll never need to eat again.
