prunes are good, yes

adequate fiber in your diet will make you a happier person, you won't be all full of shit all the time

I find them to be quite tasty actually, but I don't go out of my way to eat them.

They are sweet and tangy, whats not to like?

I prefer apricots, but the gf said never again. Lets just say they're my magical fruit.

Otherwise, I like the dried mangos I get from costco too.

Because they give you the craps. I don't mind them but I don't think I've ever bought them.

That's the point. Regularity.

*shrug* don't give me the "craps" . Then again I am eating 1-3 per day not an entire box.

The problem is you can accidentally eat a whole bunch and shit for like 5 hours straight.

You should try Trader Joe's Non Sorbate prunes. Made with no potassium sorbate, so it's really just a dried plum. A littler stiffer than the Sunsweet or whatever brand, but they don't have that soggy texture. Much tastier too.

They taste fine... but unless you are eating them because you need them, there will be dire consequences in a few hours.

I love prunes. I eat them like most people eat mini Reese cups. I have a lot of Target's Market Pantry prunes (24oz package) right now. I also have a smaller canister of Sunsweet One's which are delicious.

I know....but you got to realize that mangos are naturally very sweet, with lots of natural sugars. I have switched to unsulfered, unsweetened papaya and low sugar mangos. Nutsonline FTW!
