A KFC "Mega Jug" was 64 U.S. fluid ounces (1893ml), which, if they're using the standard syrup dilution, is about 213g of sugar. Ignoring concerns about what else is in drinks like this, general guidance (e.g. the UK National Health Service, the Harvard School of Public Health) recommend well under 40g of free sugar per day as a maximum.
