I’ve been weighing candy and checking labels to prepare our “Find Hidden Candy” display at the USA Science and Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C. Here are some of the surprises I’ve found:
| Brand | Serving Size | Sugar per Serving | Percent Sugar | Candy Equivalent |
| Oatmeal Squares | 58 g (1 cup) | 10 g | 17% | 2 striped starlight mints |
| Last July Organic Chocolate Cookies | 43 g (4 cookies) | 12 g | 28% | 18 Altoids |
| Honey Maid honey graham crackers | 31 g (2 full sheets) | 8 g | 26% | 2 large wintergreen Life Savers |
| Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce | 34 g (2 TBSP) | 9 g | 26% | 1 Life Saver, 1 starlight mint |
Graham crackers have as much sugar as chocolate cookies? I may as well eat wheat bread with honey instead. Or have my sugar for dessert.
