      Hi vikki!

      They contain lots of sugar, and sugar contains energy, and goes into our blood, and we get the urge to use it up and bounce around! There is some evidence that some of the colourings and artificial flavours can make some people go hyper, but scientist are still working on figuring out what the links are here.

      Do you like fizzy drinks?

      🙂 Sarah
