This certainly cheered me up. Check out the reviews for "Haribo Gummy Candy, Sugarless Gummy Bears, 5-Pound Bag". By the sound of it they should never be eaten, ever ... unless you want to reboot your digestive system completely.
Safety Warning
Consumption of some sugar-free candies may cause stomach discomfort and/or a laxative effect. Individual tolerance will vary. If this is the first time you’ve tried these candies, we recommend beginning with one-fourth of a serving size or less. Made with Lycasin, a sugar alcohol. As with other sugar alcohols, people sensitive to this substance may experience upset stomachs.

I have some experience of this same effect with sugar-free sweets (Chewits IIRC). I didn't find it particularly funny at the time.

You know that phrase "the bottom fell out of his world"? Well like that only the other way round.

TMI? :urff:
