Hmmm, let's examine the equation carefully...
Add: One mega bag of sugar free treats sweetened with Sorbitol (a very powerful laxative)
Add: Parent who thinks since it's sugar free, kiddo can consume with abandon
Add: Child who thinks they've died and gone to Heaven because they can eat all the candy they want
Add: A product rating system allowing virtually limitless user entries
Caclulate... ... ... ...
Result: Epic Lulz =D
Yep, large amounts of Sorbitol will do that. (My ex FIL was diabetic and kept sugar free candies all over the place. He was used to them. I wasn't...)

Ooh, I thought this thread was going to be about fun with
potassium chlorate substances that will get you on the trrrist watch list. =|
Gummy bears are my achille's heel. I'm like a gold fish with them, I will eat them until I burst if you put enough of them in front of me. Sorbitol or not, 3lbs of gummy bears in one sitting will wreck you.

Ditto to brimic, but with gummi worms.
On my motorcycle trip across the country, I found myself buying gummi worms in about 10 different states. Probably the most commonly bought food for the entire trip.
No digestive pyrotechnics with my gummi worms, because I got ones with honest-to-God sugar in them. Er, well, at least corn syrup. Yeah, that's it. But none of that chemically raped fake sugar stuff.

Mythbusters did a segment on a salami-powered rocket, supposedly baed on a Confederate weapon system. http://kwc.org/mythbusters/2006/04/episode_51_myths_reopened.html
Put anything that can generate some degree of power in a system with a directed opening and you can generate drive pressure. Depending on how much pressure you can generate ....
I believe some of us could consider themselves lucky if the opening statement "No $hit, there I was ..." were in fact true. Alas, usually it is not.
stay safe.

From the comments section!
I felt violated when it was over, which I think might have been sometime in the early morning of the next day. There was stuff coming out of me that I ate at my wedding in 2005.

Gummy worms, the kind with sour sugar stuff on them, are part of my road trip staple.

They don't tempt me at all. The idea of gummy vitamins is just plain disgusting in my view.

Well, Ima gonna order some of these and offer my boss a peace offering....

I learned the hard way about about sugar free candy. It was....unpleasent.

:rofl:
Ok, I learned about this the easy way. Mom is a nurse in a GI clinic, and you'd be surprised how many people with chronic diarrhea don't know this. The usual test is to ask if they have a breath mint, and they'll whip out a roll of sorbitol sweetened whatevers.
Evidently "what goes in must come out" and "I started crapping myself inside out about the time I switched to sugarfree mints" is too much of a leap for some people.
Speaking of, has anybody seen Ned today?
