Apparently some artificial sweeteners can act as a laxative. So effectively, those gummy bears were strong laxatives, leading to anybody who eats one to have to spend a long time on the toilet.

The artificial sweetener in question is maltitol.
Also, under no circumstances should you ever use it to make jello shots and give them to your asshole neighbor for the party they’re about to host

I thought it was xylitol?

No, maltitol is the one that gives everyone the immediate shits.
Personally, I use erythritol as a sugar replacer. While it can cause some bowel activity in large amounts, it takes a few hours to kick in and is more akin to eating a bunch of fiber

Not one, but a full bag of them.
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Not a full bag, just a few gummy bears. Maltitol is not to be trifled with

Search for “Sugar free gummy bears review”. There are a TON of super funny stories out there. All of them meme worthy

It was a funnyjunk user who ate a whole bag of sugar free gummy bears and showed what the aftermath was of that decision

Haribo released some sugar free gummy bears, and apparently the artificial sweetener they used to make them wreaks havoc on most people’s digestion. The Amazon listing was filled with reviews graphically detailing the effects.
