Inspect a nutrition label, estimate the hidden teaspoons of sugar before the reveal, and call out the front-of-pack claims that don't match the panel.

How to play
Each case shows a product's nutrition label with the sugar line hidden. In guess rounds, estimate how many teaspoons of sugar are in a serving or the whole container, then reveal the truth, the closer you are, the more points you bank. In trap rounds, judge whether a front-of-pack claim is honest or a marketing trap that the back panel contradicts.
Sugar is shown in teaspoons (about 4 grams each) to make it concrete.
Watch the serving size, per-container totals are far higher than per-serving.
Six cases per game with a detective-accuracy meter.

Tips & strategy
Multiply per-serving sugar by servings per container when the question asks about the whole pack.
A 'low fat' or 'natural' front claim often hides a high sugar panel, read the numbers.
