A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
A lot of scientists sample the wares. It had to be explicitly banned at my workplace. "Organoleptic testing" was how they put it. There were several incidents, but the one with polyols was extra. (Sugar-free gummi bears will give you the gist of it. Link below) They just get bored and stupid. They'll check the LD50 (if known), then go to town if it's tasty enough.

Oh boy that was a good read
Classic. A little googling will turn up gold for sugar free gummi effects
The reviews on amazon were seriously the funniest shit I've ever read in my life. I laughed so much the first time I was in pain
Those reviews made me feel better when it eventually happened to me personally. It was a sugar-free nutella-like spread. I should have known better. At least the time on the toilet passed faster because I remembered the gummy bear reviews, they made for an appropriate reading
What Im learning from this is that I should never try anything that is sugar free
Well, there's a difference between "the normal version contains some sugar" and "the normal version is almost entirely made out of sugar".
Some artificial sweeteners are also effective laxatives. If you've seen eclipse mints, they use it. 1 tin is fine, 2 is toilet time.
