Fill Pill Hailed As Miracle Diet Aid. Also, It Might Make Your Stomach Explode!

The Fill Pill is a new diet pill made out of diaper materials which expands in your stomach so you don’t feel hungry! Does anyone else feel crazy after reading that sentence?! We certainly feel crazy after reading it, and after looking at the makers’ website, which summarizes how the pill works with a picture that implies: the pill goes in your stomach, and EXPANDS TO 50 TIMES ITS ORIGINAL SIZE!
Ok people, expanding capsules were fun when they were filled with sponge dinosaurs that you could then make prance around in the bathtub, but do we really want to be eating this crap?
Here’s what TV’s Mike & Juliet have to say:
Also, the Fill Pill is made by Italians (insert joke here about how Italians can’t do anything right. See: Leaning Tower of Pisa.) A researcher and pill tester, Alessandro Sannino, told the UK Mirror:
“It’s the same as you feel after a plate of spaghetti.
Except this is an indigestible tennis-ball sized lump of fiber… Buon Appetito!

Holy Pepto!
How in the heck does it come out?
Really? I mean really really?! Is this what we have resorted to? Eating crap that will puff up in our stomachs so we can lose weight? Why not just eat tamales that are pure Maseca then?
Any hope I had left for humanity is gone.
I got something for your mouf that’ll expand 50 times its size. Guffaw!
Gabriel!
as if i didn’t already have to eat activia everyday!
Does it go away? Do you gotta poop it out?? Does it shrink first??! Mommy!
I order a bottle of the Fill Pill last month. I was curious about what it looked like “inside my stomach” so I opened a couple capsules into water. It basically looked like green Metamucil. I have been taking it for about a month now, though not on a regular basis, and I have lost about 5 pounds so far. Aside from the weight loss, I have had a lot of lets say, positive side effects from increasing the fiber in my diet, less constipation, etc. It doesn’t make you feel STUFFED, but it definitely doesn’t allow you to eat as much at a meal afterward as I would have been able to if I don’t take it. I also like the fact that it has vitamins in it. I have a hard time taking separate vitamins because they always seem to upset my stomach, but I haven’t had that problem with the fill pill.
So far, I say its good stuff.
