Almost correct, except sugar consumption has been declining for decades. The peak was prior to 2000 IIRC



Yeah there used to be a children’s breakfast cereal called Super Sugar Crisp and the cartoon character promoting it in commercials was named Sugar Bear. Foods in the ‘70s and ‘80s were loaded with sugar.


Pretty sure this still exists and in the US it is called "Golden Crisp". I personally always loved it :)
