I've been meaning to look this up on google for some time now, and finally did it yesterday. Check this out-
Did you ever wonder how many grams of sugar equals one teaspoon? Maybe not, but I need to visualize things so I did. 4.2 grams of sugar equals one teaspoon. Doesn't sound like a lot, but think of it this way:
Coke- 39g sugar= just over 9 teaspoons
Snickers bar- 28g sugar= 6 1/2 teaspoons
Caribbean Passion Jamba (my fave)-55g sugar= 13 teaspoons
YIKES!!!
If that wasn't motivation to limit sugar, I don't know what is!

You just made me want a Snickers and a Jamba really, really bad. Not because of the sugar, but because I'm starving and those sound divine!
PAINFUL!!! Isn't it crazy how knowing what you are eating can really put a damper on your desire to eat it!?!? :)
Sad day...
Holy heck!!!! Thanks for that info!! We've really been trying to cut back well... everything!! LOL Goodness, I sure love me some Jamba though, and a Sonic Slush.. Delish! ;) I'll be sure to keep this in mind though!
THANKS HEATHER, you know sometimes ignorance is BLISS. (haha)
