sugar is a generic term

You're right, of course!

Eleven does what she wants. She'll blow up your head if she wants to. She'll eat all your waffles, why? Because she fucking wants to. You don't mess with eleven.

I thought it was c6h12o6

That’s what my secondary school science teacher called his wife

That's glucose (and also fructose). The formula in the meme is for sucrose. All three are common sugars that you eat. Table sugar is sucrose, but glucose is what plants create during photosynthesis which is probably where you came across its formula.

To fit the poetic meter, and rhyme, I want this to be "Sugar is C12H22". I know it's wrong, I'm so ashamed.

I'm a peer many times a day, because I drink a tonne of water. However, I also get a lot of fiber, so I'm a poor right now

Back in my day sugar was only C and H.
