Sugar Bowl (A Series Of Unfortunate Events)
The sugar bowl is a fictional object from A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket; it is also known by its V.F.D. name: the Vessel For Disaccharides. It was first mentioned by name in The Hostile Hospital, in which Snicket (as the narrator) ponders whether it was necessary to have stolen it from Esmé Squalor. It is (probably) indirectly mentioned in The Ersatz Elevator by Esmé. Lemony Snicket and Beatrice Baudelaire seem to have been in part to steal it. In Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography, it becomes apparent that it contains an object of great power or danger. There are many mentions of the sugar bowl and both sides of V.F.D. seem to be pursuing it; the Baudelaire orphans are eventually caught up in the search, although they have no idea why the bowl is so important.
