    I had one of those tasty little chocolate squares once. It went right through me. Actually, spicy hot foods travel through me pretty fast.

    Those Metamucil chocolate squares.  Are those the squares you are referring to?

    Spicy foods tend to go through me quite quickly, too.  This is why I like them.  I really don't have time to sit around and digest.

    Exlax squares. They contained a drug called phenolphthalien.. It is no longer used as it has been determined it is a carcinogen.

    WOW!  I think they might have wanted to find that out before they put it on the market.  It's no wonder they don't sell it anymore.  Thank goodness you are o.k. :) :)

    I never used it, silly. I just know the chemistry. READ THE LABELS.

  • I was thinking spicy food as well. Seems like it's only been an hour since you ate it and it's already at the other end of the alimentary canal.

    Liquid food.  Throw a few laxatives into that smoothie and run for the john.
