K, P, K, K, P, K, K, P, K, P. If it is moving, it is kinetic, if it isn't, it's potential. the sugar one is a little tricky using that method though, because we generally consider this in terms of spacial movement, but sugar holds energy which is later released by your body to allow you to move.the chemical bonds have potential energy because they release energy when broken.
