On Tuesday, Pepsi released a fairly ridiculous commercial that featured Kendall Jenner removing a blonde wig, wiping off lipstick and drinking Pepsi that was vaguely done in the name of equality, unity and ending police's mistreatment of people of color.

The commercial was ... not received well.

Denver Nuggets forward Wilson Chandler, who keeps to a vegan diet, chimed in on the commercial and also brought up another point about Pepsi: It's terrible for your body.

A 12 oz. Pepsi contains 41 grams of sugar. For a little reference, this is what 42 grams of sugar looks like.

I appreciate Chandler keeping it real. As Twitter user @The_Drip pointed out, Chandler plays half his games at the Pepsi Center, and he still didn't hesitate to criticize the brand.
