No, for reference, should you have linked us to the news stories regarding this? Though, I suppose that isn't necessary if we know of this via this appearing in news stories for months now.
I don't know if you're being serious, but no, it isn't that bad.
I'm half tempted to just order a bag...
Why, don't you have someone who sells it locally?
Anyway, Lycasin (like other sugar alcohols; e.g., mannitol, sorbitol, maltitol, xylitol) is known to cause bloating, intestinal borborygmi, or flatulence. It's sort of like Olestra, except the chemistry's different. I hazard that you would need to consume a few bags of these gummy bears for that to happen, just like you would need to eat 326,853,135 sticks of chewing gum, though.
Also, how about you donate that money for a bag of gummy bears to those starving in your country or the developing world?

Oh yeah, I've had those before. At least that style of gummy bear. They're basically inedible.
So, uh, would it be within the FDA's purview to see that they aren't sold? If so, seriously, what would it take for them to take action against the sale of these?
They're not bad, but I'm not buying a 5lb bag for 50 bucks anytime soon.
I think if you eat 5 pounds of any kind of gummy candy you're going to have poop problems, and I don't think this particular brand enhances that.

When I say inedible, I mean that the 'gummy' part of gummy bear is only true in the most technical sense. It's more like chewing a dried and hardened piece of gum.

Due respect, obviously, I was not referring to the 'inedible' remark. Instead, what might concern the FDA is the fact that these apparently cause quasi-death?!? You know, what with these horror stories and whatnot.
Pretty sure they have xylitol as a sweetener, which is known to wreak havoc on your digestive tract.
We got a bag of hard candies sweetened this way when I worked at a call center. I didn't read the warning label but I can tell you that about 5 of us devoured the whole bag and within about 30 min we were all hunting for an open stall.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.

I will always firmly stand by the belief that Magic is a game first and a collectable second.
Haibro are pretty good, it must be something in the sugar substitute that doesn't mix well with some people's digestive systems.
Interesting read, I'm half thinking it may just be a prank of some kind, but it'd be funny if they were actually laxatives in disguise.

a) $50
b) Could cause actual problems beyond people ****ting their brains out & not making it to the bathroom.
So no... I'd order these as a way of building up to having an iron stomach, but to give away? Not even to my worst enemy.

What...why don't you donate the money you spend on magic to third world countries? This statement makes no sense.
Why would I want to buy them and try them? Some sort of morbid curiosity I guess
So, without a doubt, these are bad but there is no one to give a damn about it and stop its production and sale?
Of course it does; it behoves you not to waste your money when you can do something better with it.
Oh...
