A different kind of Elephant roundup

It tastes good, but is it really healthy?

A fairly new soft drink is gaining popularity in Thailand: 
MAN SOME
Advertised ingredients are

Collagen 2000 mg / ml. 

Vitamin C 25 mg 

Zinc 11 ml

Advertisement claims it as a Man Care product, "especially formulated to revitalize the skin of a man."

Collagen is a glue like protein found mostly in fibrous tissues such as tendons, ligaments and skin, and is also abundant in corneas, cartilage, bones, blood vessels, the gut, and intervertebral discs

The amounts of beneficial ingredients are listed in milligram.  
Sugar content of the drink is listed in grams.  44grams per bottle
That's around ten teaspoons of sugar per bottle according to my calculations

Thailand to deploy 15,000 forces to Bangkok

Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry today urged Kuwaitis in Thailand to leave the Asian country for their own safety

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called on the UAE citizens not to travel at present time to the Kingdom of Thailand
