The Laxative Myth?

Ex-lax does indeed make a fast-acting chocolate flavored chewy. My (now deceased) elderly uncle with alzheimer’s once ate an entire box, mistaking them for regular chocolates. The results were, um, intense. He indeed spent hours pooing. This isn’t what killed him, however.

Most fast-acting laxatives are off the market now, as a few years ago they were linked with cancer. Now there is senna, which is slower. Still, a good dose will work in short order.

ITYM prairie doggin’ it. :wink:

Yeah, dammit…I live too close to Punxsutawney and it’s too close to Groundhog Day for me to properly attribute any other type of chunky, burrow-dwelling rodent…
