Use for Sabotage[]
Cady Heron supplies Regina George with Kälteen Bars in her sabotage efforts against Regina.
Cady would accurately describe them to Janis Ian and Damian Leigh as "weird Swedish nutrition bars. My mom used to give them to the kids in Africa to help them gain weight." In the following scene, Cady recommends those bars to Regina, saying they will help her burn all the calories and continuously lose weight. Throughout the later part of the film, Regina can be seen eating the bars whenever she gets the chance, eventually gaining so much weight that she could not even fit into her Spring Fling dress anymore, and later from her boyfriend she realized that Cady had tricked her and she screamed until she got back home.
