Sugar

Ok, so. Does anyone know exactly how many grams of sugar are in a typical packet of sugar, such as a Dominos packet? My one minute of online research suggests a range of 2-6 grams, which is too big of a delta to warrant any sort of confidence.

Yesterday I bought a pack of Juicy Fruit, and I've been loving it. I've been chewing stick after stick, and I'm not a big gum guy. However, each stick of Juicy Fruit is 2g of sugar. So I just want to get a sense of how much sugar I'm taking in.

Thanks guys. I still don't understand though why I feel nice after chewing two sticks of Juicy Fruit, which is only 4 grams of sugar, when a can of Coke has the equivalent of 40g of sugar, which is at least 10 of those Dominos packets (!) and 20 sticks of Juicy Fruit. A can of Coke doesn't make me feel particularly nice.

As a side note, I think that if I took in 10 of those Domino sugar packets at once, I might have to go to the hospital.

So different mediums of sugar delivery are not fungible with each other?

 

I'm addicted to gum. Everybody on campus knows that I'll pull 3-5 different packs out of my bag if someone asks for a piece. Go sugarless. Orbit is the best. It's officially considered a "low calorie" food for having something like 1g of sugar per stick. Longest lasting flavor of any sugarless brand. Trust me, I've done the market research myself.

But this makes me wonder which aspect of the gum you're addicted to. Is it the chewing motion and texture? I would have thought it's the sugar, but since you're going "sugarless", that mostly rules sugar out. Unless you're chewing so many that the small amount of sugar in each stick really multiples due to the sheer amount of sticks chewed.

 

Going Concern -- I have to admit this is one of the laziest posts of all time. My understanding is that you do fundamental research on companies for a living. A Google search or a trip to a diner/Starbuck's could have yielded this information quite easily. This leads me to the conclusion that you are trolling here.
