So, in a drink you show amount of protein as volume per 100ml?
Comment on Why is alcohol measured in percentages?

Australia does this right. Everything has a percentage.
Nutritional panels have:
- Serving size
- Servings in the pack
- Energy, sugar, fat salt. etc per 100ml or 100g, and per serving.
Alcoholic beverages have “standard drinks” per bottle which factors in ABV and volume.
I can quickly see that a drink has 9g sugar per 100ml and know it’s 9% sugar. Easy.

Here’s a Starbucks cappuccino marked as 2g of protein per 100ml and 4.4g per serve.

Sucrose has a solubility of about 200 g/100 mL water. I’m in American so I’ve never seen Australian food labels, but would they really label a sugar-saturated drink as having 200% sugar? I guess technically you can do that, but it seems a bit weird. In my experience % is usually reserved for liquid in liquid solutions, like alcoholic beverages.

The best example is the slab ‘o’ Coke from Woolies.
Sugar is marked as 10.6g/100ml and 39.8g per serve, and 24 serves in the pack.
Syrups are sold in grams, and maybe that getting 200g of sugar into 100ml of liquid is why.

Wouldn’t it be lower than 8% sugar by volume since sugar is more dense than water?

Isn’t this standard everywhere? I know it’s like this in the Netherlands
