“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!

I don't believe a word of it, but it's entertaining as hell. ;-)

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.
Having served in the military myself (and my last 2 years as a Supply NCO), I can totally see this!! (As I ROFL!!)
Do you know how good these are?! They're a dangerous addiction!

Jesus f*****g Christ. Goddamn Stephen King. Nice man, mad respect for you.
I have laughed so hard at this review, so much so that I am trying to find these little demon bears for my own pranks on coworkers. Shame they're discontinued.
So many civilians. Of course soldiers are like this. I can see this happening.
BAHAHAHAHAHA I love military pranks, this might beat my ex BF's tale of when his unit put all the shaving cream and sunblock sent to Kuwait in care packages into the bottom of the sand latrine (covering it with a little sand) and then waiting for the first poor soul to step up to the p**s pole and sink in it to his knees...
During exam time at school (35 years ago) some one nicked a pack of my sugar free cool mints. He must have eaten them all in one go. 20 minutes into the exam he had to go to the loo, accompanied by a teacher to make sure he wasn't cheating on the exam. He never made it back. I felt sorry for the teacher. Being used to sorbitol, I could eat 4 or 5 mints in a day without harm. As a sorbitol virgin this guy was doomed at 3 at once, let alone a whole pack. Karma
Even if they figured out it was the gummis, you could still say that someone "with virus contaminated hands" must have touched the gummis, thereby transferring the stomach bug to all the others who ate from your same bowl. This was a diabolical plan, indeed!
Having grown up in the military, I had to Laugh and Laugh and Laugh!
At first, I thought that he had mixed some laxatives with the gummy bears to punish the would-be-thieves. Then, after reading other posts in this thread, I realised it was the gummy bears themselves that were this evil. Searching on Amazon right now to see if they sell them in my country. I've a few people in mind i'd gift them to.
This is me in school trying to get my friends to stop stealing my lunch.
Let's just send these to N Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, etc. Save out troops!
Oh wow. This is definitely going to be a key factor next time I need to exact revenge 🤭

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.
Please tell me you slipped a couple gummies to Dr. Hanson
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 . . . . . . .
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.
Porcelain throne!! I'm never using the term 'toilet' again
maybe... just maybe... for your sister... when she gets too annoying of course.
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????
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.
I've not tried these but I know that anything ending with -tol gives me the most noxious gas, I have to run away from it.
It's just the sugar free ones. The regular ones are awesome and not so frightening.
Load More Replies...I know it mentions it in the text, but it's not in the title, so I would like to clarify that these are specifically from the SUGAR-FREE Haribos. The regular Haribos are delicious and don't generally try to kill you.
Hmm... "generally", you say? Well thanks, now I know for sure I will Never eat any of those things!
Load More Replies...Wow, myself and my family have read these sugar free gummy bear warnings ages ago. They say the taste and flavors of them are insanely good tho. So crazy that they have such a explosive laxative effect.

Any sugar free candy will do this if you eat it in large amounts. Sugar free does not mean house 2 lbs of it.
There are reviews saying people ate only three and still had these… uh, issues.
Load More Replies...All the sugar alcohols can cause gastric distress. Some people are more sensitive to their effects than others. I am used to products containing them; I chew gum containing xylitol every day. I'm not that sensitive to sugar alcohol; maybe it's because I'm used to consuming products containing -tol. However, if I consume a large quantity, I know I will regret it.
I am usually just fine with sugar alcohols. The one they use in these gummy bears, however, are a completely different story. It is the most pleasant-tasting napalm you'll ever eat.
Load More Replies...are normal haribo gummy bears with sugar okay to eat? does anybody know?
My family have never had an issue with the regular haribo gummy bears. Not game to try the sugar free after reading these reviews lol.

You look like the sweetheart (more likely the pushover) passing out sweet candy, when in reality you’re the avenger passing out sweet revenge. With an equally sweet, and innocent, smile. They’ll never know what hit them—-or their intestines.
i sit upon my throne (a stinky porcelain throne but a throne none the less) as i type this out while praying for help since it is painful to dispose of waste so frequantly. (im bad at spelling)
Load More Replies...Wonder why Haribo does sell these? Didn't they check the effect? Are they waiting for people to sue them? The Gummy Bear scandal?
😂😂😂 I had NO idea they did this. I'd never eat them because I hate the aftertaste of sugar free, but now I have ideas lol
Well, if you want to clean up politics. ( literally from the inside out), send one to your local politicians office with your compliments!
I’m crying / laughing tears! I thought these had all been removed from production, but apparently not! I’d like to say that the current commercial for Haribos deserves an Oscar for creativity….I laugh out loud every time I see it! Still a great product…just eat them with great caution!
Pissed myself laughing and wonder why someone has not given them to Cadet Bone-Spurs for colonic irrigation?
I was chewing on a gummy bear when i began reading this .I ran to check the (6 LB.) package and found it was NOT the sugar free. Whew!
BP's headline writer is clearly unaware of he concept of oversell. Anyone reduced to tears of laughter by this stuff is simply obsessed with bathroom humor.
Well I don't know... I never had any problem with those gummies, even when I ate the whole pack in one sitting.
Sorry.. didn't read clearly.. never tried to sugarless version.

Never had these, but Menthos and Extra mention they can be laxative in large quanteties, it is true for all things with artifical sweeeteners

Start taking magnesium every night...that will do the trick! It's good to help you sleep too
