Twenty years ago, I met a couple with a young son who decided not to let the kid have sugar. I wonder how that might have worked out for the kid now that he's grown.

I assume the kid hit 18 and went on a sugar binge as soon as he tasted it the first time.

Anyone have experience with this?

When I was a kid, we did cinnamon toast: wonder bread toasted and slathered with margarine, covered in enough sugar to form a slurry with the melt, then sprinkled with cinnamon. More crunch came from the sugar than the toast. I'm kinda fat now

    I used to love this as a kid.

    Now as an adult, I found a fun substitute. Slice some cucumber. Then add cinnamon, salt, and whatever sugar substitute you like. It's not quite the same as the real thing, obviously. But I haven't had the "real" version since I was a kid. It's a nice throwback that satisfies the want for a desert-like item with few calories.
