While Being Horrible And Hilarious At The Same Time, These 20 Reviews Of Haribo Gummy Bears On Amazon Are Leaving People In Tears Of Laughter
175Kviews
"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, 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 is. For this list, we recommend you put away snacks and drinks because your appetite will probably be ruined in no time. Scroll down below to read the hilariously awful experiences people had 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. ;-)

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

ICEDs....you need to to sell these things under that label!
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!
So many civilians. Of course soldiers are like this. I can see this happening.
Oh wow. This is definitely going to be a key factor next time I need to exact revenge 🤭
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 . . . . . . .
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 shit-ton of them. Guess what? 2 days of reversing a shit-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????
I laughed till I cried. Then laughed some more.
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.
I now have gummy bear phobia.
It's just the sugar free ones. The regular ones are awesome and not so frightening.
I'm not taking any risks... O_O my toilet does not deserve the horror
Lol ppl who tried the big gunny all have the phobia

Why? Because of a bunch of people writing fantasy stories? They all rate it 5-star so it doesn't get taken down as malicious, but it is.
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.

Idk why some nit wit would down vote you for your comment 😂, that's crazy.
Thx it's my favorite song from the 90's.
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!
One must leave the possibility of allergies and accidents that can be true of anything designed for consumption.
i mean, if you eat thousands, they could kill you. but a normal amount should be fine
Thanks for the belly laugh. For all 20 of them!
great article, super funny!
Wow Thanks for the warning!
These are so hilarious, they made my day.
Any sugar free candy will do this if you eat it in large amounts. Sugar free does not mean house 2 lbs of it.
This link, just read it! It was the first time I knowed Gummi Bears can be dangerous: https://www.amazon.com/review/R3FTHSH0UNRHOH/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000EVQWKC&nodeID=16310101&store=grocery
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.
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.
yeah haha XD thank you!
They are perfectly amazing to eat. The normal one's one can eat all day long and be absolutely fine. It is just the sugar free Gummy's. Have to say though I am not sure why anyone who already has read or heard about this happening to people would willingly purchase and eat them. But I suppose they deserve it.
Oooh, I am going to have to remember these next time I want to battle the evil forces. You know, the asshole at work. Or the asshole in general. 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.
im buying these and will edit my comment when i have ate them
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)
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
So true!!! I spent the most painful 15 hours of my life after eating some of these.
Well, if you want to clean up politics. ( literally from the inside out), send one to your local politicians office with your compliments!
I laughed so hard at these, some people here have real narrative skills
Who knew? Hell i probably would have eaten the whole bag
Laughed til I choked
I want some..... Hehehehehehehehehehehehe
I had like 100 grams of these (different brand but still) a while ago, and have never been in so much pain in my abdominal area! My stomach bloated into a balloon, which then turned rock hard, literally. I remember thinking "This isn't right", and then having to take some medicine in order to handle the pain. It took around six hours to start feeling normal again.
Pissed myself laughing and wonder why someone has not given them to Cadet Bone-Spurs for colonic irrigation?

I do not see how on earth this is funny ._.
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.
Might have to get these for a poor chronicly constipated soul I know.
Tic Tacs do that too if you are a whole box eater like I am.
Like the Olestra( fake trans fat) potato chips. Priduced grey explosive diahria out of the blue without warning.
Ooh now I know what to give to people I hate..awesome! Muahahaha
Is there no warning on the package of something that could be dangerous to small children and people with gastro intestinal conditions?
Never had these, but Menthos and Extra mention they can be laxative in large quanteties, it is true for all things with artifical sweeeteners
Like any bear attack, the picture is not pretty.
I purposely bought these (tmi, I'm chronically constipated) hoping they'd help. Did nothing to me. Not even a bit. 😡
Start taking magnesium every night...that will do the trick! It's good to help you sleep too
I laughed till I cried. Then laughed some more.
