The rubbish 'energy drink' that our players advertise on their shirts is well into the high rate of Osborne's new tax on unhealthy sugar-filled drinks.
It has 35.8 grams of sugar in each 325ml can, which, if I've got my sums right, is 11.02 grams per 100 ml.
Don't suppose it will change anything.

I tried the free sample at the first home game. Thought it was so delicious I haven't had it since.

Love Calpol. I'm in, going to have to try some. Still haven't seen it sold anywhere other than the megastore which seems to be a bit of a stumbling block for cracking the uk market.
Yeh they've picked a hell of a time to try and enter the UK market.
A market already saturated with sugary sodas and energy drinks it has to be said.

Does anyone know how much tax that will add?

It's a 24p tax per litre for anything above 8g per 100ml and 18p per litre for anything between 5g and 8g per 100ml.
Going by the OP the cans are 325ml in the stadium, so it would be an additional 8p on the price.
Good lord, think of the children.

The NHS website recommends that an adult's daily intake of sugars shouldn't exceed 30 grams. One can of Carabao contains 35.8 grams.
If you want to think of the children, the daily intake for a 7-10 year old shouldn't exceed 20 grams.

Just reminded me to buy a can, but not sure other than Reading FC who stocks it.

It's cheap and plentiful in Thailand - made sure I filled my boots while I was there.

I imagine it also caused you to fill your pants.

Managed to grab a couple of cans from their sponsors box gratis. Yuck is a reasonable description but then again Redbull is equally as bad as I dislike all of those so called energy drinks..
