This chart is from my Comparative Diets course and I thought it was interesting. Note that soft drinks are the number 1 source of sugar in our SAD diet (Standard American Diet) diet, followed by 'Other' (i.e. table sugar).

Here is an interesting fact, according to Wikipedia, one can of coke can contain between 9-12 teaspoons of sugar!
