Contents and Influence
Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs are flavored with frosted chocolate, which Calvin claimed to supply a "wealthy, fudgy taste". In a single strip, Calvin declared the cereal free from a single natural component. Calvin once claimed he wouldn't eat any cereal that does not turn milk crimson, but in another strip claimed the Bombs turn milk brown. A Sunday strip also demonstrated Calvin eating brown chocolate cereal.
Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs contain removes of sugar: Hobbes compared a serving's price of the cereal to "eating a bowl of milk bad eggs". Calvin once claimed the cereal featured eight different "essential vitamins", to ease its unhealthy image. However, inside a later strip, Calvin stated there weren't any vitamins whatsoever, implying the content from the cereal was altered with time to get rid of (or add, when the occasions from the strip aren't in chronological order) the vitamins. Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs also contain high levels of caffeine: 100% from the daily allowance for any a cup. Additionally, Calvin sometimes flows his cereal in chocolate milk or mixes additional sugar in the bowl.
As Calvin exceeds the suggested portion per meal, our prime sugar and caffeine content of his cereal makes him overstimulated and hyperactive over several hrs, especially on Saturdays. He's also developed tremors because of the sugar in the breakfast (that they rather attributes to vitamin deficiency), and claimed to usually feel sick after his third bowl of cereal.
Calvin's unhealthy cereal diet may explain a discount of his sugar intake, pointed out to be going ahead inside a mid-June strip from 1987. Within an early March strip of the year after, Calvin also stated that his mother declined to purchase him the cereal's marshmallow-bits variation, and the man didn't always eat three bowls at any given time. As Calvin's father had doubted whether his boy truly did reduce his sugar consumption, this would mean that the sugar ban what food was in or near its most intense within the March strip. It presumably slackened somewhat within the following years, as Calvin later pointed out regular three-bowl servings and using chocolate milk. However, 5-bowl serving from late 1986 never was pointed out again, implying that Calvin's parents had effectively cut lower on his sugar intake.
Merchandise
To be able to promote the company, Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs has released several prizes open to regular customers. Calvin has pointed out three: battery power-powered propellor beanie hat, an amount of "Buzzy the Hummingbird" (presumably the brand's mascot) along with a "plastic trinket" obtainable in ten collectible colors.
The beanie hat was the topic of a 3-week story arc. Within the arc, Calvin diligently ate four boxes of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs, anxiously waited days for that hat to reach within the mail and broken the propeller mechanism before finally assembling the hat. However, Calvin was disappointed to locate the beanie was not capable of flight, the primary reason he'd sent away for this.
Calvin using the beanie
The beanie made an appearance like a half-sphere having a crown border, a 5-armed star on front along with a powered propeller as wide because the hat. Calvin sent away for any red one, also it seemed to be obtainable in blue. It is a puzzle, however, which color was Calvin 's beanie, because he theorized the red ones might possibly not have experienced stock as he sent away for his.
Calvin also once found a decoder ring toy in the cereal however, the company from the cereal wasn't proven or pointed out. As a result, it might happen to be a campaign from Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.
Variations
Calvin has mentioned that Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs can also be found with marshmallow pieces, however that his mother declined to purchase these for him (see far beyond section). This is probably for dietary concerns over cost, like a couple of several weeks later Calvin's father pointed out his son's sugar intake being reduced.
Calvin has also called his cereal as "Chocolate Frosted Crunchy Sugar Bombs", "Crunchy Sugar Bombs" and "Chocolate-Frosted Sugar Bombs" (note the hyphen). These alternate names were probably short-resided marketing decisions for the similar product.
Trivia
- Throughout the story arc by which Calvin has their own Television show, he marketed Sugar Bombs throughout a commercial break.
- Once, Calvin switched to a different cereal, named Pulp 'n Stuff. after saying boring routine is a huge a part of existence, with Hobbes proclaiming that it's no chocolate frosting and rather fiber and raisins. After hearing this, Calvin immediately dates back to Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.
