600 mL corresponds to 15 teaspoons of sugar

That gives the ratio 600:15

Divide both parts of that ratio by 3 so we get to 200:5

Then multiply both parts by 10 to get 2000:50

This says 2000 mL, aka 2 liters, of soda has an estimated 50 teaspoons of sugar.

To convert from teaspoons to grams, we multiply by 4. This is directly from the equation of 1 teaspoon = 4 grams of sugar

So 50 teaspoons = 50*4 = 200 grams of sugar.

To go from grams to teaspoons, we divide by 4.

-----------------

To find the actual amount of sugar, you'll need to find a 2 liter bottle of soft drink and look at the nutrition facts label. You can search for the nutrition facts label online if you don't have a bottle near you. Keep in mind you're looking for the 2 liter plastic bottle version and NOT the 12 fluid-ounce can version.

Also, keep in mind that the nutrition facts label will list the amount of sugar per serving. This isn't the total sugar since it's just a small portion. Multiply the number of servings by the amount of sugar per serving.

Example: If there are 7 servings and 20 grams of sugar per serving, then that's a total of 7*20 = 140 grams of sugar total.

Side note: the amount of sugar will vary from brand to brand. However, they should all be in the same basic ballpark.
