Crumbl's 'Dirty Sodas' Under Fire for Shocking Calorie and Sugar Levels
A new product line from popular cookie chain Crumbl, dubbed 'Dirty Sodas,' is drawing attention for its exceptionally high calorie and sugar content. One particular offering, the 32oz 'After Hours' soda, reportedly contains a staggering 700 calories and 158 grams of sugar. This figure significantly surpasses the nutritional values of a standard 32oz Coca-Cola, which the video highlights as containing 417 calories and 102.8 grams of carbohydrates (primarily sugar). The new beverages, currently in a testing phase in Canada, include three categories: traditional 'Crumbl Sodas' with added syrups and creams, 'Crumbl Chargers' which are Red Bull-based, and 'Crumbl Coolers' that use a water base with fruit flavorings. Nutritional charts displayed in the video reveal that many of the 24oz soda options range from 270 to 420 calories, with some containing fat due to added whipped cream or similar ingredients. The larger 32oz options consistently show higher values, with several exceeding 500 calories. Public reaction to these nutritional facts has been swift, with commenters expressing alarm. One user stated, 'They’re actively giving people diabetes,' while another remarked, '158 grams of sugar?? They need to be stopped.' Concerns were also raised about the company's perceived greed and the general health implications of such products. The introduction of these high-sugar drinks by a company already known for its indulgent cookies has ignited a debate about consumer health and corporate responsibility in the food industry.
