I never understood how soda doesn't feel like it has 17 teaspoons of sugar in it because I've made lemonade with 2-3 teaspoons of sugar and it feels just as sweet.

Was your lemonade carbonated? Carbonation can reduce perceived sweetness: http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085%2813%2900798...

Lower serving temperature will also reduced perceived sweetness and soda is often served with ice: http://aless.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/wordpress/web/wp-content/uplo...

(0.5M is 171g/l, approximately double what you'd find in soda)

That's probably a 20 floz container, which gets you halfway or so.
