There really needs to be a warning on this stuff, if Coca Cola made a drink that makes you 5h1t yourself it would be banned.

You never heard of those old folks who drink it in order to induce diarrhea?

Is that it's only purpose? If it's only purpose is to make you **** yourself there should be a warning, and it definitely should not be next to the orange juice in the supermarket, it should be next to all the other stuff that makes you **** yourself.

Yeah, it sucks that there's no warning. But I guess it's the high fiber content, which is the same as if you drank Metamucil.

From Wikipedia:
Prune juice is richer in fiber than plum juice and is often marketed as a treatment for constipation, and it helps with kidney stones.

Maybe the owners of said prune juice company are joksters.

They don't put warning notices on coffee either.


I think it's kind of a given to assume that the things you consume will affect your digestive tract in some way. Feel thankful that you've partaken in and discovered for yourself a tiny fragment of common knowledge.

Who knows what you may discover tomorrow?

I had a chocolate "chantico" drink at a Starbucks a year or two ago, with a rather embarassing result. (Fortunately, it did not "hit" until after I got home from said Starbucks....)

I'm obsessed with espresso - and I know that my first shot of the day will send the "open the blast doors" signal to my arse.

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

Ugh. That Chantico crap was a ripoff, didn't taste that great, and I think the store I worked at sold a grand total of five of them before Starbucks discontinued them.

/rant

P.S. I've known that prune juice causes the runs since I was a kid. It's not at all the fault of the juice company. Do you expect them to put warning labels on liquor, too? "May induce vomiting and alchohol poisoning if consumed in excess".
For all the trash I talk, I sure own a lot of Macs...

Prune juice never quite made it as a recreational beverage.

It doesn't make your **** yourself, it's just high in fiber. What's next, you eat three greasy cheese pizzas a day and then complain that you're fat and have bad acne?

What I want to know is, if prunes are dehydrated plums, how do they get juice?

Which section of a typical supermarket is the prune juice located? I've never come across it in my years of shopping.

i'm sure there are other reasons for drinking prune juice - including the reason why you bought it

Aren't prunes dried plums? So what is prune juice, anyway? Is it different than plum juice?
