Coca-Cola is one of the most consumed soft drinks in the world, and for many people it's a regular part of their diet. If you're keeping an eye on your calorie intake, here's exactly what's in a standard 330ml can.

The Sugar Content in Context
A 330ml can of Coca-Cola contains 35g of sugar — that's approximately 7 teaspoons. The NHS recommends adults consume no more than 30g of free sugars per day, meaning a single can exceeds the daily recommended limit. This is worth bearing in mind if you drink Coca-Cola regularly.
Lower Calorie Alternatives
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar contains just 1 calorie per 330ml and is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame-K instead of sugar. For those watching calorie intake, it provides the same taste experience with virtually no calories.
Buying Coca-Cola in Bulk
If Coca-Cola is a regular household staple, buying by the case is significantly better value than buying individual cans. A full case of 24 x 330ml Coca-Cola cans from Reign Goods works out considerably cheaper per can than supermarket single prices, with free delivery on orders over £30.
