* In the 2005 remake of ''Film/YoursMineAndOurs'', when the parents are away at a dinner meeting, the stepsiblings plot to break up their parents' marriage by throwing a wild teen party. While the older kids and teenagers are singing, dancing, eating pizza and junk food, and performing with a band, the younger kids are shuffled up in one of their rooms partying and celebrating by chugging root beer sodas and then indulging in big salad bowls of random junk foods and making a mess (Cheetos, marshmallows, gummy worms, candies, etc). After the parents arrive home and break up the house party, their first concern is where the little ones are. SmashCut to all the younger children dazed and tired and lying on the floor of their bedroom passed out in a sugar crash, muttering that they're in need of more chocolate.

Contrary to popular belief, this is '''not''' TruthInTelevision. While consumption of sugary and fatty food and drinks can affect a child's behavior and physical health ''in general'', [[https://www.science.org.au/curious/people-medicine/does-sugar-really-make-kids-hyper it doesn't make them hyperactive, clinically or otherwise]]. Part of why the association with hyperactivity and junk food is so common among parents is because these tend to be the things eaten at parties or special occasions (celebratory cake, chocolate bars, jelly, fizzy drinks, you name it) and kids, being small bundles of energy, will want to play more than usual with friends, making them excited, and that means they'll do a lot more running about.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/LucysSecret'': Lucy attributes her forgetting to put on her bedwetting pants at the sleepover to being "hopped up on sugar" (even though the soda she drank was stated to also contain caffeine, which really ''does'' make people hopped up).
