Published in Daily Trivia
Americans ingest 1.7 million tons -- or 10.8 pounds per person -- of sugar each year from Coca-Cola alone. Americans drink an average of 399 servings of Coke products per year. 50% of these are Coke brands, and 63% of those are Coca-Cola Classic. That comes out to 125.7 Classic Coke servings per person. With 39 grams of sugar per serving, that means the average American consumes 4.9 kilograms per year -- or 10.8 pounds. Multiply that by 307 million Americans and you get around 1.7 million tons of sugar.
