The story behind this quiz:

I volunteered to work a table for my club at a school event. The club is called Student Dietetic & Food Science Association  so naturally we had a nutrition/food fun fact table. I had lots of fun asking students if they could put the drinks in the right order. Most of the students were wrong and were surprised by the answers. We also had vials of sugar from other popular foods. the students were able to really understand the amout of sugars by actually seeing it for themselves instead of just reading the amount on the nutritional facts list.
