Disappointed. I bought teryaki chicken tenders at the grocery store deli. They were so hard that I could barely chew them. Ended up throwing out the bulk of them.

And they don't have them here.

Also, the sugar rush thing is a myth. There's no scientific evidence that sugar makes people hyper.

Clearly you don't have kids. I can assure you that when IAteCatHair (love you, son) eats sugar, he gets hyper. All. The. Time.

I'm just going by the scientific evidence rather than experience.

I know kids ACT hyper when they've eaten sugar. So did I. But I'm sure that's because they're excited because they just ate something they enjoy eating and they want more. There were many things that made me hyper when I was a kid, not just sugar. I'm saying I read that there is no scientific evidence that sugar causes it.

If a child eats cotton candy, a chocolate bar or any other kind of sugary treat, will a hyperactive frenzy follow? While some parents may swear that the answer is "yes," research shows that it's just not true.

Yes, that's right. "Sugar does not appear to affect behavior in children," said Dr. Mark Wolraich, chief of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Oklahoma University Health Sciences Center, who researched sugar's effect on children in the 1990s.

Instead, parent's expectations of so-called "sugar highs" appear to color the way they view their children's behavior, Wolraich said. It's easy to see why parents make the link: Sugar is often the main attraction at birthday parties, on Halloween and other occasions when children are likely to bounce off the walls. But all that energy is due to kids being excited, not from the sugar in their systems, he said.

If parents believe that sugar affects their children's behavior, "their ideas are reinforced by seeing it in those circumstances," Wolraich told Live Science.

The misconception comes from the idea that increased blood sugar levels translate into hyperactive behavior. It's true that someone with low blood-sugar levels (known as having hypoglycemia) can get an energy boost from drinking a sugar-filled drink. But it's a different story if someone has a sugary treat when he or she doesn't have low blood sugar.

"The body will normally regulate those sugars. If it needs it, it will use the energy," Wolraich said. "If it doesn't need it, it will convert it to fat for storage."

That's right — if you have a donut when your blood sugar level is already just fine, those extra sugars may be converted into fat.[...]

Anyways... I was going by scientific evidence rather than my experience. So it's irrelevant that I don't have kids. And besides, I lived with my family for 25 years and had 4 younger siblings all grow up along with me. There's 12 years between me and the youngest. I'm very much used to being around hyperactive kids. Plus I still get hyperactive myself. So it's not like I can't relate. I still get hyperactive when eating sugar but it's just because candy excites me even now, lol. I also get hyperactive over pizza and music and games and parties

If she affects the flow of time, she's not natural.

She's a witch!




Seriously, though.  Congrats!
