Comment on Why is alcohol measured in percentages?
Spyro@lemmy.world 11 months agoSucrose 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.
