Default Caution - Carbolite Jelly Beans

I guess I should've known - anything w/ 23grams of a sugar alcohol will most likely have an ill effect!

Yup!! It did! - But oh were they so good....almost worth it. Thankfully, I was home!

Oh boy... I know that feeling... when my wife and I first discovered sugar free candy, it was Jelly Belly's and I am a JB FIEND. Unfortunately she didnt warn me and they were from bulk foods (no warning labels).

That was a.. .ummm... blast! I ate about 40 of them little puppies.

Needless to say I have learned my lesson.

Oooh, I'm with you on the Carbolite Jelly beans...

Never had trouble with sugar alcohols, and had one yummy package of JBs in a day and whew... not doing that again!

Now I understand what people are talking about with sugar alcohols :/

Live and learn

I love the "real" jelly belly's

One good thing about the LC chocolates and candies is that if your having a hard time going to the bathroom... just eat one of those little babies and its off to the races lol.

I had some LC chocolate from Spain that was to die for, wish they made it here in the US, but there's no doubt that it would cost an arm & a leg.

I love LCing but the one thing that turns me off totally is the prices they charge for the teeniest things.

~_%&#_%&#~% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:P
