  Here's the scary part
  
  If we are talking a 1 liter bottle of water it's less sugar than in most lemonades and sodas.
Same energy

(apologies for linking to a YouTube short)
- Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
  
  Same energy
  
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  
  I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
always wondered of the nutritional value of these, left out by people with good intentions, but probably doing more harm than good with those empty calories
- My understanding is sugar water is fine for hummingbirds, but the red dye often added to it is not.
  
  You are correct. If you feed hummingbirds, dissolve a 1:4 ratio of sugar to water in summer (so 1 cup sugar to four cups water) or a 1:3 ratio in winter for extra calories/energy. Don't use the bottled red stuff, it's bad for them :)
- Hummingbirds need all the calories they can get. Their calorie requirements per mass are somewhere in the realm of 50x greater than a human's.
  
  i am aware, but sugar water in 100% calories and no protein, essential fats, vitamins or minerals, whatsoever
Kind of disgusting
