Jokeiii may be on to something for those of us who can't find Coco Lopez.

I did a little math and came up to 16 teaspoons of sugar in a 13.6 ounce can of coconut milk.

Here's the logic in case you want to check. According to the nutritional label, Coco Lopez contains 5 grams of sugar per ounce, coconut milk contains basically 0. 13.6 ounces of CL would contain 68 grams of sugar - at 4.2 grams per teaspoon that comes to 16.25 teaspoons. This is actually a conservative measure; since 16 teaspoons of sugar added to 13.6 ounces of CM would make more than 13.6 ounces, the sugar content per ounce would be a bit lower than 5 grams
