I picked up 24 oz "Green Tea" from the convenience store earlier. I forgot to check how sweet it was, 60g added sugars in the 706.8ml beverage. So this is like 8.5% sugar (g/ml). Obviously that's napkin math but this is showerthoughts, not theydidthemath

It won't happen because the sugar industry lobbies very actively against this sort of labeling. They specifically don't want you to be able to do those sorts of calculations when buying products, which is why they use a completely arbitrary measurement system for the nutrition label in the first place; most people can't visualize what 60g of sugar even looks like without a scale, but they can definitely visualize ~8% of a can's volume.
