Sugar Bombs

Sugar Bombs are food items found in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Sugar Bombs are packaged in a white and blue box with a red ovoid logo at the top. They are fully labeled as "Sugar Bombs breakfast cereal." Numerous promotional posters can be found posted on walls around the wasteland, touting Sugar Bombs' "explosive great taste!" Some posters also state that a "free Captain Cosmos decoder ring" is inside select boxes, but no such item exists in either game.

The cereal pieces themselves are modeled after atomic bombs resembling Fat Man.

Fallout 3
In Fallout 3, Sugar Bombs are mildly useful food items found throughout the Capital Wasteland which provide only a small amount of both health and radiation when consumed. Compared to other food items, Sugar Bombs are somewhat rare, something which factors into the unmarked quest Murphy's Bombing Run.

Murphy's Bombing Run
In Fallout 3, Sugar Bombs can be traded to a ghoul named Murphy in Northwest Seneca Station for use in crafting Ultrajet. He will pay you 15 caps for each box of Sugar Bombs that you bring him, and an extra 15 (for a total of 30 caps) with a speech check. For each 8 boxes of Sugar Bombs brought to him, Murphy will also sell the player one Ultrajet.

Fallout: New Vegas
Within Fallout: New Vegas, Sugar Bombs are now individually distinct from most other "basic" food items. The most obvious difference is that they now provide a limited boost to the player's maximum action points, similar to chems like jet or Rocket. Comparatively this boost is small, but stacks with other similar effects while not carrying any risk of addiction.

Come Fly With Me
Chris Haversam at the REPCONN Test Site can be convinced to sabotage the plans of Jason Bright and his followers. If he is, he will ask the Courier to obtain a number of ingredients to use in sabotaging Bright's supply of rocket fuel. One of the three types of items the Courier is asked to obtain is three boxes of Sugar Bombs.

Behind the scenes

 * The words "Sugar Bomb" is a pop culture phrase meaning a food with little or no nutritional value.
 * Sugar Bombs are probably a reference to "Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs" from the popular comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. It is Calvin's favorite cereal and it is mentioned that there may be a marshmallow flavor as well.
 * Sugar Bombs are also seen in episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, usually when someone is eating breakfast.
 * A cereal called Sugar Bombz on a fridge is seen in a panel of DC Comic's Hitman issue 10.
