“One of the worst days of my life,” “Help me," “The horror at 30,000 feet!” Taken out of their original context, these phrases might sound scary. Terrifying, even. However, you all know that it's all about the context, and in this case, it's actually a pretty hilarious one.
Long story short, it turns out that sugar-free gummies will most probably send you rushing to the bathroom. It's all because of the innocent-sounding sugar alcohol called maltitol, which is found in the ingredient called lycasin. Apparently, Haribo sugarless gummy bears are no exception when it comes to sugar alcohol, and boy, what a wild ride the Amazon review section for the gummies was.
For this list, we recommend you put away snacks and drinks because your appetite will probably be ruined in no time. Scroll down to read people's hilariously awful experiences with sugar-free Haribo gummies, and vote for the ones that made you laugh!

My brother used to ruin everything that I baked. He picked the pecans off a pecan pie. He ate half a cake that was for a birthday party. After years of this I bought some chocolate laxatives. I told him not to eat the chocolate because it was special. It was gone faster than I thought was possible. Later that night he wanted to go to the hospital. I had to confess. He got in more trouble than I did.

Why would people stop taking things from your bowl if they didn’t know your candy was the source of the problem? You know and I know...but, they didn’t find out, so this was really kind of a revenge story.

Are the Sugar-Free Gummy Bear Reviews Real?
To think of such horrible, vulgar things to say about a beloved brand and its products proves just how real the reviews truly are. Every single bad Haribo sugar-free review is almost 100% as real as any other review. To nail this fact further, the toxicity of the product even spread to more beloved products of the company.

People due for a colonoscopy might find these preferable to the gallon of liquid glorp they would otherwise have to drink. Either way, good luck if there's only one bathroom in the house and more than one person.

Grabbed a handful after dinner. Later sitting in the recliner the rumbling started. A little gas, by myself with dogs on my lap, I released a fart. Than they got a little watery sounded so headed for the bathroom, two steps wavy from the bowl, just two steps and Mt Saint Asshole erupted. My insides felt like they had been flushed out and my a thought of a future diminished.

If those confections are so potent, why are they being sold...if no warning accompanies them........ if intended consumers are likely to be children, it could be serious for them if they should eat more than a couple...... what child would pig out on gummy bears regardless of sweetener...... we now know some adults have . . . . . . .

Thornton's used to make some wonderful sugar free chocolates, with a warning on the box. They stopped because people complained of "gastric distress". Too lazy to read the warning or just too greedy to only have one or two a day

I never understand people who say things like "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy." Unless I were some sort of 50s sitcom character who's worst enemy was my rival at school, and even then, I could think of plenty of things worse than haribo gold bears that I would wish on my enemy, and haribo gold bears would be still on that list.
Do Sugar-Free Gummy Bears Taste Good?
Sugar-free products are known for tasting bad or different from sugared ones. Example? Original Haribo gummy bears. While the sugar-free version has an almost unending list of reviews pointing out the horrible taste, the originals are kinder. So, looking at sugar-free gummy bear reviews alone, it’s easy to assume that taste makes a difference in quality.

NOT JUST HARIBO GUMMY BEARS!!! I purchased a container of sugar free meringue cookies. Since they were sugar free I ate a s**t-ton of them. Guess what? 2 days of reversing a s**t-ton ton of these from my body. OMG thought I turned myself inside out. In my defense the ingredients label was covered by another label. You know.; the place where it states "excessive consumption may cause a laxative effect". Ya think????
Carrie Roettger 5 years ago
Anything that is sweetened with sugar alcohols will cause a laxative effect. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I'll eat regular candy long before I even get near the sugar free stuff.

Why Did Haribo Discontinue Sugar-Free Gummy Bears?
Are reviews not enough? Well, the product also made headlines in some of the most famous magazines in the world. According to Forbes, these gummy bears’ main “sugary” component, lycasin, can lead to nasty side effects, like stomach problems. In Haribo’s defense, the company did put a warning label.
