Cadbury Eggs Of Sugar

The method in this xkcd comic makes it really easy to visualize exactly how much sugar is in sweet drinks.

 

As we’ve seen before, excess sugar — like its cousin, excess alcohol — causes heart disease and probably diabetes and cancer. The movie Supersize Me had a similar visualization in the form of a tub of the 30lbs of sugar Morgan Spurlock ate during the month of filming, but the Cadbury egg is much easier to relate to on a daily basis.
