The difference

27 kcal

Both are sugar water with flavour, and per millilitre they are about the same. The difference is just the size of the can.

The big 500 ml energy drink cans are about 224 kcal, more than a can of cola. A 500 ml bottle of cola is about 210.

Sugar free versions of both are close to nothing, which is the easiest swap if you have them every day.
