sugar bomb
Hypersweet processed snack
A sugar bomb is food or drink with excessive sugar content, especially breakfast cereals, candy, or sweetened beverages marketed to children: Those frosted cereals are pure sugar bombs.
The term carries a critical tone, implying the item delivers a quick energy spike followed by a crash.
In video games, particularly the Fallout series, Sugar Bombs is a fictional brand of pre-war cereal.
