It's still 6 teaspoons of sugar in 500mls - which is more sugar than I eat in a week Hilton. and Pieterlab1 2

It's still 6 teaspoons of sugar in 500mls - which is more sugar than I eat in a week It may be so, but for people that typically often have a buddy-bottle of Coke etc (I'm guessing that excludes you with your <6 teaspoons a week), the Bos has about half the sugar, and it's a less processed form.

I don't drink soft drinks or fruit juice much. I tasted some of my daughter's Bos (regular) and thought it was a bit sweet to give to kids. The Sport is lekker and refreshing after a ride but also is too sweet (for me). I like the Bos products very much, I just wish they would reduce the amount of sugar in them. But I would still take any Bos product over a Coke.

Hilton. Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 ja ja ja sorry okay. thought there was a reference to 32gi there. somewhere anyway - found this interesting graphic... who likes Fanta? Thats the exact graphic I had in mind when reading this thread. Thanks for looking it up and posting. Scary hey! wow, thats a LOT of sugar!
patches Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Yeah, that graphic is interesting. I always thought Schweppe's Dry Lemon was a slightly healthier option... meanwhile it's up there with Fanta Grape. To be fair though, they need to compare apples with apples. they compare 330ml cans of carbonated soft drinks against 500ml bottles of sports drinks. They should do it all at equivalent volumes.
patches Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Anyway, we digress... this thread is about winning a competition, not the sugar content of various soft drinks. At the moment I really like the Lime & Ginger Bos. Very refreshing.

Yes, we digress, BUT... Read that they posted those figures based on that's how much you will drink when buying a can or bottle as that's the size it comes in. Scientifically it makes more sense to compare 100ml to 100ml, but I get what they're saying. Back to #BOSSPORT
Iwan Kemp Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 So let's see some pics. Anyone posted anything anywhere using #bossport ?
