Bon Bon's true name is '''Sweetie Drops''', but was named '''Bon Bon''' in pieces of merchandise, for example, the ''[[Bon Bon, Candy Expert]]'' trading card, and several others, however, other merchandise also named her as Sweetie Drops. Since Bon Bon is an established name, we call her as such on the wiki.
