Do you have a source for that? I saw this article, and I know it's not a great source, but it suggests that the US doesn't even have the sugariest drinks. I couldn't find a link to the original study, although I'm on my phone so I haven't looked a lot.
And...it can be important to understand the specific nutritional content of things we put in our bodies and not think of it as a binary between "health food" and "everything else." Otherwise if I'm not drinking water I might as well just drink kerosene, right?
There are also cultural and socioeconomic things to understand around how different industries operate around the world and how different globally-available products differ in different markets. Like how Pizza Hut in Japan offers a pizza with mayo and diced potatoes.
US coca cola has about 10.8g of sugar per 100ml, while european has 10.6g.
The big difference is serving size.
For example a small soda at McDonalds in the US has more content than a large in Japan.
False.

And? It's fuckin' soda, nobody goes in expecting health food.
