You know how after a big cherry binge, the next morning is… eventful? That’s the fructose and sorbitol tag-teaming your colon. They pull in extra water to help things move along.
This can lead to that lovely sensation of “I am not skinny, I am an inner tube.” And if you eat a ton of them (which is easy, because they’re addictive little gems), you might experience what I call the “Cherry Express.” No stops, all gas.
But Wait—Not Everyone Gets It
Here’s the twist in our cherry drama: some people are immune. You might have a gut of steel. Or you might be someone who can eat a whole cherry tree with zero consequences. If that’s you, congratulations—you’re a digestive superhero.
But for the rest of us mere mortals, eating cherries is a gamble. It’s like playing Russian Roulette, but instead of bullets, it’s tiny, juicy explosions. You never know which cherry will be the one that pops your belly.
