The Sugar Bomb

Sugar Bombs is a Pre-War breakfast cereal. At the time of the great war, they had a new promotional gimick: an actual "Sugar Bomb".

Packed with absolutely no explosives, it did, however, run on nuclear power, and it was actually able to fly, unlike actual bombs of the same design. The 'bomb' had a dispenser that would shoot out sugar bombs as a sample, as it circled the world.

However, it's unfortunate shape, paired with the turbulent times led to it's own downfall. Without telling anyone about the promotion before sending it off into the air, it sent the East Coast into a panic.

New York City intercepted the bomb, and shot it down. The Sugar Bomb crash landed at the Pre-War Institute J, and it was discovered that it was not armed. Instead, it continued to dispense Sugar Bombs. In modern times, it has run out of sugar bombs to dispense, but people offered their own to the bomb out of a misguided tradition.

Ironically, the Sugar Bomb was shot down the day before the Great War. Perhaps it caused the increased tension needed to cause the war? The world will never know...
