A 33-year-old UK truck driver needed emergency treatment after consuming a large quantity of gummies in a relatively short period of time.

Nathan Rimington, a truck driver from Yorkshire, reportedly ordered a 3kg (6.6 pounds) container of Haribo Cola Jelly from Amazon after getting a craving for gummy candies. He proceeded to consume the 10,461kcal-worth of gummies in just three days, and started experiencing serious physical symptoms shortly after. He was taken to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain, sweating, high blood pressure, and cold sweat. Initially, the medical staff suspected that the man was suffering from food poisoning, but further tests revealed unusually high levels of gelatin in his digestive tract. After performing several tests, Rimington was diagnosed with acute diverticulitis.
