Click a column header to sort. not enough data means the number could not be verified from the label or price on record — never estimated.

3 more products were read twice and verified but are not ranked: nothing their labels state could be scored against any component of this ranking.

How this ranking is built

Component	Weight	Basis
Value	40%	Cost per can, ranked against the category
Formula	35%	Sugar load, calorie load, and whether the panel discloses its caffeine content
Consensus	25%	Buyer rating shown on the brand’s own product page (read from the page, or from the review service that draws its stars; source-linked), minimum 25 reviews, re-read within the last 30 days, count, source and capture date printed on every product page

A missing component is never scored as zero. Its weight is redistributed across the components that exist, and the page says which one was omitted.
