This article has a few short words on how the video that is about to be shown will change the viewers perspective on Coke. What is in the video?
The video starts off with a Coke just sitting on a table. Dance of the sugar plum fairies is playing in the background creating a sort of eerie feeling for the video overall. After playing a little while a hand appears and begins to pour sugar into the coke can.
This seems normal until the viewer realizes that none of the sugar is being absorbed by the coke at all. The hand continues to pour table spoon after table spoon on top of the coke untile the end of the video.
What other information is offered from the video? While the hand continues to pour sugar on top of the coke can and as it begins to pour out onto the table, words begin to appear on the screen stating claims on the soda industry and how much sugar is actually in a can of soda. Some of the claims it lists are as follows.
- One cup of coffee has a table spoon of sugar in it.
- Too much sugar can cause health problems.
- Soft drinks have the highest amount of refined sugar among things that kids consume.
- That 1/5 of kids between the ages of one and two drink soft drinks.
- 1/3 teen boys drink three soft drinks a day
- Soft drink companies spend about 700 million a year on advertising.
- Claim that soft drinks have no nutrition value.
- A can a soda has around 9 table spoons of sugar in it.
The end of the video leaves the viewer seriously questioning the soft drink industry and how much sugar kids and adults are consuming.
