Well Spackle My Insides And Call Me Fatty

Normally I would start a post with a picture.  In this case, however,  I will leave the picture viewing to your personal discretion.

Yesterday while driving in the car, I heard a radio commercial (yes, I still listen to old-school radio in my car) about getting rid of that extra 10-20 pounds that just seem to linger despite the effort you put into losing them. As you well know, most weight loss commercials are centered around one of three typical things – a miracle pill, a miracle diet or a miracle workout device/routine.  To my surprise, this particular product didn’t focus an any of the above.

Instead, the focus was on flushing the poop that is stuck to your intestines “like spackle” out of your body with this miraculous mixture of colon cleanser crystals and a liquid of your choice.

Ok. Really? There’s ten to twenty pounds of poop spackle stuck to my insides?  I’m slightly disturbed.

I was even more disturbed when I saw the pictures.  Either this stuff is really legit and we are all full of crap that we totally need to expel, or this magic potion does something wiggidy-wack to your turds.  Either way, I’m thinking about trying it, just to find out. Any opinions before I take the plunge?

P.S. If you do look at the pictures, don’t forget to read the testimonials. They’re fantastic.

    I’ve heard that commercial, too. They run it on Sirius radio. I have to change the channel because it makes me nauseated. I guess I could listen to it and get rid of several pounds of goo inside my stomach, but I choose not to, thank you very much. Ick.

    I’ll do myself a favor and not look at the pictures, but I’m totally intrigued by this. If you go through with it, I’ll be very interested to hear how it goes for you!

    looks more like they’re pooping out their intestines than actual poop. poop!

    Aw, that’s nasty. But I do have a friend who has done the cleanse a few times, she swears by it.

    Does it occur to this people that maybe those things aren’t supposed to come out? I don’t know, it seems like people have been pooping pretty well on their own for many a year, but maybe that was before we started eating all kinds of preservatives and junk. Either way, ick.

    I think these things are legit. Kath swears by these and I’ve been wanting to do one for a while. I just decided I’ll do one this summer!

    If you do decide to try it, I hope with all my heart that you will go and grab somebody from your apartment to check out your pooped out snake like in one of the testimonials. You could even hold it for them so they can see how long it is, it’s like a map of your GI track! Now THAT would be something to talk about!

    Can’t help but be grossed out by the fact that they stretched it out all over the back of their toilets. Seriously people… leave the poopy instestines in the toilet. AND I agree with a comment above, that actually looks like their intestines, or the sea weed I saw at the beach last week!

  • Jeffe

    That can’t be good for you. seriously. i would consult a REAL doctor before trying that. cause that sort of thing should NOT come out of you. Megan is right, people have been doing fine on their own for millennium.

    How does this make people feel better about their weight? If you have fat bulging over the top of your pants, pushing 20 extra pounds of poop out isn’t going to do anything to improve your appearance… is it?

    AHHH! I just looked at the picture! I’m horrified! What the hell?!

    “I woke up and passed the biggest, longest and nastiest piece of stuff I had ever seen! It was approximately 2 to 3 feet in length.”

    Ew ew ew ew!!!!

    So, I was thinking… If this ribbon of fecal matter is 2 to 3 feet long, how on earth do you flush it?? This has the potential for some serious plumbing problems.

    I have seen the inside of intestines, and they do NOT look anything like spackle!! The pictures look like someone ate stockings and that was the aftermath! This is (excuse my pun) a Load of Crap.
