Starbucks Christmas Hot Chocolate Contains 23 Teaspoons of Sugar | Eater London

"Red cups are back, but the seasonal push has produced mixed nutritional messaging: festive adverts encouraging indulgence sit alongside headlines revealing that the Venti Signature Caramel Hot Chocolate contains about 92 grams of sugar (roughly 23 teaspoons), comparable to four large white chocolate and strawberry muffins or three cans of cola. The charity Action on Sugar described the findings as “shocking” and urged chains to promote lower‑sugar alternatives and stop pushing indulgent extras at the till, while the company insisted it is committed to reducing sugar across its beverages." - Emma Hughes
