Sugar Stacks

Ever wonder how much sugar is in the foods our students typically eat in a day?  Sugar Stacks is a great site to illustrate those amounts by comparing the foods and drinks to sugar cubes.

Anyone else do this? When I was a kid, I'd sneak a sugar cube or two when I thought no one was looking.  I might get one or two before getting busted - probably had something to do with bouncing off the walls - but compared to the drinks we regularly give to kids, that ain't nothin'. 

Yikes. That's scary.

A sugary center with a sugar candy coating.  And it's chewy!

Not as bad as I thought.

What?!?! This one surprised me. The regular Yoplait yogurt had over 6 sugar cubes.
