"Haunted By Sweetness

In Indonesia, sugary drinks have become a common part of daily consumption, especially among children. These drinks, often marketed as fun, refreshing, and energizing, can contain alarming amounts of sugar. The high sugar content is often hidden behind other names in the ingredients list, such as sucrose, fructose, glucose, corn syrup, or maltose. These sugar laden drinks can contribute to a host of health issues, including obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay.

In an artistic representation, such drinks could be depicted as vibrant and appealing on the outside, but with darker undertones, symbolizing the hidden dangers they pose to children's health. The art might show children joyfully reaching for these colorful drinks, unaware of the shadows or ghosts of health problems looming behind them. This visual metaphor can be powerful in illustrating how sugary drinks ""haunt"" the youth, with serious long term consequences disguised behind a sweet facade."
