During "Crunch" time, The snack bar was always stocked with at least a dozen of these.

Sugar does more than just weight gain.

elevates triglycerides
increases harmful LDL (so-called bad cholesterol)
promotes the buildup of fat around organs (visceral fat)
increases blood pressure
makes tissues insulin-resistant, a precursor to diabetes
increases the production of free radicals, energetic compounds that can damage DNA and cells.
