According to one nutritional analysis, a 12-ounce (small) Coke Slurpee contains 27 grams of sugar, while a small Wild Cherry version has 22 grams. The exact sugar content of a small Slurpee depends on the flavor, but most contain a significant amount of sugar, far exceeding daily recommendations. This article explores the sugar content of various flavors and its health implications.

According to Forbes, a 12-ounce Fanta Wild Cherry Slurpee contains approximately 24 grams (or 6 teaspoons) of sugar. This might seem manageable, but the amount dramatically increases with larger sizes, making a single serving potentially more than the daily recommended sugar intake for an adult. The sugar in a Cherry Slurpee is derived primarily from high fructose corn syrup and other artificial sweeteners.
