Glucose overload again then Dr. Funk Trivia Night (Twilight) @ San Pedro Square

Details

The brain uses anywhere from 20%-50% [1,2,3,4] of the sugar energy in the body. Trivia night start at 7:30, so we can grab a sugary snack before and use that surplus glucose to dominate trivia night. Don't go overboard with the dessert though, since too much sugar is bad >:( [5,6]

I'll get there early and wander around San Pedro Square after getting my dessert, but you can also meet us directly at Dr. Funk for trivia night.
