Sugar Bombs

 is a food item found in Fallout 3. It can restore some of your Hit Points, but also gives you a small amount of radiation.

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 about 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 the game. The cereal pieces themselves are modeled after mini nukes.

Unmarked quest: Murphy's Bombing Run
This item can be traded to a ghoul named Murphy in Northwest Seneca Station who will create Ultrajet for you. 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) caps with a speech check.

Locations
Apart from appearing randomly in refrigerators and similar containers, there are numerous fixed locations where Sugar Bombs are certain to appear:


 * About 10 boxes of Sugar Bombs can be found in a trailer at Everglow National Campground, which is northeast of Little Lamplight.
 * Two more boxes can be found under the register in the Cornucopia Fresh Groceries next to the entrance to Northwest Seneca Station where Murphy lives.
 * Two boxes may be purchased from The Brass Lantern in Megaton.

 * About 10 more can be found in Mama Dolce's food factory, which is east of Arlington Cemetery South.
 * You can find at least 5-10 boxes in the Citadel in the mess hall. Seems like the Brotherhood love their cereal.
 * If you buy the Pre-War Theme for the house in Megaton, there are 6-9 in the house.
 * There are ten or so boxes to be had in Gold Ribbon Grocers but don't take them until the pressure plate has been stepped on or the missing boxes will prevent the Rube Goldberg machine from completing and dropping the loot from the ceiling (it acts much like a domino run).

 * There is a box in Satcom Array NN-03d in the first room of Tower C.
 * There is 1 in the Eat'o'tronic 3000 at the Sewer Waystation

Behind the scenes
In 1953, Kellogg's Cereal introduced Sugar Smacks - a cereal that contained 56% sugar by weight. A sugar bomb, indeed!

In the movie College, Kevin's sisters are eating a cereal named Sugar Bombs, which Carter also enjoys. This may also be a reference to the cereal from "Calvin and Hobbes", wherein Calvin's favorite cereal is Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs. The words "sugar bomb" is a pop culture phrase meaning a food with little or no nutritional value.
