To be clear, this is a jab at the copious amount of sugar that companies throttle down our throats. It’s a critique of big companies.

Why not? Coke’s density is nearly equal to water, so once you’ve got everything in SI units, calculations become trivial. One litre of water is 1 kg/l, 100 g is 100 ml, which makes it 11.4 g of sugar in 100 g of product.
(edit) The “original” can of coke (sold in the EU) in my hand doesn’t use grams. It lists the nutritional content in reference to both 100 millilitres and the can’s nominal volume of 330 ml. It says it contains 11.2 grams of sugar in 100 ml.
Now calculating that in Troy pounds per long hundredweight would be actual insanity.
I know my local units, thanks. And we already use g per 100g, so even though it is basically the same as 0.1L people understand 100g proportions better.
I’m not proposing a new unit of description here, I’m saying that the proposed one is absurd given that we have an established and more useful unit virtually everywhere.
