We joke about a “sugar rush,” but that’s only partly true. Eating 26.5 grams of sugar in 30 seconds spikes your blood glucose like a rocket. Then your body releases insulin to bring it down, and you feel that infamous crash.
So, after that egg, you might feel super energetic for 15 minutes. Then you’ll want to nap on the couch. It’s a rollercoaster, not a peaceful ride.

The “Creem Egg” vs. The Real Thing
Ever notice how some people eat it cold? The fondant gets hard and feels like chewing sugar crystals. Others microwave it for three seconds, and it turns into a lava lamp of goo. Either way, the sugar count stays the same.
And don’t get me started on the mini eggs version. Those have even less chocolate-to-sugar ratio. Each one is a tiny, bite-sized sugar nugget.
