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
