💡 What does 'ajajajat' even mean?
It's an exaggerated Korean cheer for sudden intense effort or excitement, used here half-jokingly for the sudden urge to sprint to the bathroom.vs. English: like yelling 'HERE WE GOOOO' right before bolting for the toilet.Klore note

    Our bodies can't absorb sorbitol past a certain amount, so it stays in your gut and blocks water absorption via osmosis, even pulling water backwards. That's why it stays liquid and speedruns through your intestines.

    우리몸은 솔비톨을 일정량 이상 흡수할 수 없음. 그래서 흡수되지 않은 솔비톨은 장에 남게 되는데, 삼투압 때문에 물이 흡수되는 것도 방해함. 오히려 몸속의 물을 거꾸로 빨아들이기도 함. 원래는 물이 몸에 흡수되어서 변이 고체로 변해서 느리게 움직여야 하는데, 그러질 못하니까 액체상태로 장속을 쾌속질주해서 아자자잣 하게 되는 거.

    It's the sorbitol. Your body can't digest it, so past a certain amount your gut just rejects it.

    If you drink prune juice a lot you build tolerance. First time it makes you go 5 times, once you're used to it it's just once.

    푸룬도 많이 먹으면 내성생겨서 처음 먹을때 5번 가던거면 익숙해지면 한번가게됨

    I was drinking a liter bottle every month or two, and after about a year I built up tolerance to it.

    Sorbitol tolerance varies a lot person to person, so the amount that triggers diarrhea differs. That's why some people say it does nothing for them.

    솔비톨 흡수능력은 사람마다 편차가 크기 때문에 설사하는 용량도 다름. 그래서 나는 효과 없던데라고 하는 사람도 있는 거지.

    I mean if prune juice gives you smooth poops, the pharmacy stuff basically makes you spray.

    The Daiso brand didn't really work for me. Guess I gotta try the real deal.
