Although it varies depending on the size, as well as specific flavor, one can of Coke generally contains large amounts of sugar. A 12-ounce can of regular Coke features up to 40 grams (or approximately 8 teaspoons) of sugar.Source:

EXPERIMENT I CONDUCTED, HOW MUCH SUGAR IS IN A CAN OF COKE? --
METHODOLOGY AND FINDINGS: Placed two 500ml glass beakers in drying oven for 4 hours at 105 degrees Celsius. Placed beakers in dessicator to cool to room temperature. Weighed both beakers on calibrated balance and recorded weight. Using graduated cylinder, poured 250ml of deionized water into one beaker (lab blank). Emptied contents of one can of coca cola into the second 500ml glass beaker. Rinsed can 5 times using deionized water, and added rinsings to beaker. Placed both beakers in drying oven at 105 degrees Celsius on February 18 at 15:00hrs. Removed beakers from drying oven on February 23 at 15:00hrs, and placed into dessicator for 5 hours until room temperature. Weighed both beakers on balance. FINDINGS: Sample had evaporated down to a very viscous, dark syrup with a thin dried film on top. The beaker weighed 134.6870g prior to adding the sample. The weight of the beaker after drying the sample was 176.5457g. In conclusion, the total weight of sugar was 41.8587g, which slightly exceeds the amount printed on the can (39.0g). I plan to experiment with a coke from a fountain machine to compare the two, as well as other soft drinks. I’ll try to post my findings if I can remember this web site. -Jeff
