Plot
When Homer buys the Duff Book of World Records he bores everyone with his world record trivia. He then decides to break a record himself. He gathers the entire town to help him and they build the world's tallest human pyramid. Just before the record is claimed, Jimbo and Kearney move the hands, the pyramid collapses into a giant sphere. The town's people then roll to a truck wrighing station and the Duff world record officials say that Springfield is the world's fattest town.
The townsfolk are delighted to have made it into the world record's book. Marge then worries that the whole town is overweight and discovers that large amounts of sugar are in everything that the kwik-e-mart sells. She complains to Garth Motherloving, who owns the Motherloving Sweets and Sugar Company . After speaking to Garth, Marge decides to sue the sugar industry. After unsuccessfully being bribed by Garth (with a box of chocolates), Judge Roy Snyder sides with Marge and bans sugar; enraging Homer and most of the town.
Chief Wiggum burns all of the sugary products (except the butterfingers "Even the fire doesnt want them.") and the whole town goes crazy. Apu shows Homer a secret orgranisation of people trying to smuggle sugar into Springfield. The head of it is Garth Motherloving. When they arrive back in Springfield, a police boat chases the sugar loaded boat but the sugar smugglers escape. Homer dumps the sugar into the water and the people of Springfield jump into the water. Judge Snyder realises that he vastly exceeded his power in the ban and repels it.
