Question 232385
A can of soda contains 40 grams of sugar which is 40*4= 160 calories.  A 6 pack contains 160*6 = 960 calories.  If a person drinks a six pack per day, this would be 960 calories *7=6720 calories per week.  Divide this by 3500 calories per pound, and you have about 6720/3500=1.92 pounds per week.  In a year this would be (mult by 52) about 99.84 pounds ( about 100 pounds per year!!).
