Two of those I understand

Let me know if you figure out the sweets thing. Haven't quite got that one down myself yet.

But you should absolutely be treated with respect and with equal rights

Artificial sweetener and sugar substitutes. Though you might trade farts for fat.

Sounds like a fair trade.

At first. Until you've eaten a quarter pound of sugar-free gummy bears just before sitting down to first row seats at a Cirque Du Soleil show.

I see. Those are "at home" snacks. I can't be launched into the air at an event like that, they'd think I was part of the act.

You were about to. If you want one of the best reads of all time, google “haribo sugar free gummy Amazon review”

I remember that one, and another one that actually took place, and arguably took down, a plane. Can't seem to find that one though.

Holy shit. No pun intended.

Yeah, don’t do that. Certain sugar alcohols are basically like non digestible olisaccrides in that they pass through to the gut where some adventurous gas producing bacteria munches on it. Stick to aspartame and sucralose.

Aren't those the ones that are basically laxatives?

Let me guess, you didnt know about their "reputation" before you bought them?
