phil in cornwall The recommended maximum daily intake of sugar is 37.5g for a man and 25g for a woman.

We now proudly display Carabao on our team shirts. A 250ml can of Carabao contains 43g of sugar and a 150ml bottle contains 26g.


I reckon you are one of those fathers for justice types that climbs up a crane in a spiderman outfit and protests for attention.

Fortunately, I don't let the government tell me how much of something I can have, so I'll drink this and not give a fcuk

This is the greatest thread on the entire site.

Here's some more information to get us talking - this time about the popular confectionery chocolate bar, Snickers:

A standard sized snickers bar contains 24g of fat. That's a whopping 36% of your recommended daily intake. What is even more alarming, is that 13g of that is saturated fat!!!!! That's 65% of your recommended daily intake.

I won't continue, but I think the above will provide at least 6 more pages of rich debate - and for that, you are all welcome.

I like to think the likes of Snickers et al have had their zenith in popularity, lots of factors here but an increasing choice in the snack sector, increasing consumer awareness about dietary choices and rising affluences all have a part to play.

Confectionery News reporting double digit decline in sales for both Snickers and Mars - despite their attempt to halt the decline by moving to a smaller size.

Energy drinks will eventually go the same way but they're probably enjoying their golden age right now I'd say.

I'd hazard a guess that reducing the size just hastened the decline given the price never seemed to drop accordingly....

Perhaps also as these days you can get cheaper altern8ives from your Lidls, your Morrisons and your Aldis, the latter's Nutty Nougat Bars that I was eating today might as well have had Snickers written on the wrapper.

That's bullshit, Snickers is definitely a much better bar than the Lidl knock-offs. Next you'll tell me you can't tell the difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

another new sponsor. Another brand that won't mean much to us. Clearly the owners know their local market place

Pumping y26 full of sugar does seem like asking for trouble. They'll get all over excited.

Had my first taste today and thought it was ok but pretty bland. Not a fan of any of these drinks and RedBull as the benchmark is truly disgusting
