All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

@Story: Sugar can give you additional energy. The whole Sugar Rush thing is probably a placebo, though. It's so ingrained in popular culture that you feel the effects even if it doesn't have a real effect.
Reaction Image RepositoryMost people are so convinced they should feel more there tends to be a bit of an adrenalin boost. People just expect it.
It'd be interesting to do a blind test to see if sugar actually makes you more energetic.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Playaccording to Wikipedia, it's made by Cadbury's Ireland branch. introduced as a single bar in the early 70s, repackaged as a twin bar in the mid 80s.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.Wouldn't that be "Steampink"?
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!i'm okay with darn near everything you guys mentioned. but i do have a special affinity for Cyberpunk.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.It's also a classic. But I guess not retro since it was written at the time, not deliberately emulating an older era.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI'll take genre throwbacks, but I prefer most stuff written before the mid sixties. In general after the likes of Arthur C Clark, Robert Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov became popular, a lot of the more fantastical science fiction lost favor and became much more didactic. Which, produced great works in their own right, but a lot of older material from pulps and paperbacks were neglected and it's become harder to find.

Is it even true that sugar makes you hyper? I don't think it actually does.
