Throwback Thursday.
Remember when olestra (a fat substitute) was approved by the FDA in 1996?
It was never banned, but products containing it were discontinued.
Olestra is a kind of oil your body doesn't digest, so it comes out same form it came in, causing anal leakage.
Word got around pretty quick, as young women wanting to "eat healthy" started shitting themselves.
Sales went down the shitter after the patent expired (originally patented by P&G), and sales declined into oblivion.
Fun times.
