\"\"<\/p>\n

Fiber is one of those things that most people don’t get enough of, including myself. It helps prevent things like diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. When I was told by my doctor that I needed more fiber in my diet, I decided to get that fiber the American Way. <\/p>\n

Not in the form of vegetables or fruits, but in the form of either a pill, injection, or powder. I decided on powder, because I’m not very good at swallow pills and I fear that I won’t be able to do a fiber injection, unless Jose Canseco<\/a> injected it into my ass for me.<\/p>\n

So for the past couple of years I’ve been drinking Metamucil<\/a>, which is a powder you mix with water.<\/p>\n

At the time, I was so happy I was getting fiber, that I wrote a short poem:<\/p>\n

Fiber helps when you’re stumped.
\nIt can help you from getting plump.
\nIt aids when you want to take a dump.<\/i><\/p>\n

Metamucil comes only in an orange flavor, but when I say “orange flavor” I mean that very loosely. It tastes like the watered down orange Kool-Aid I made on my own when I was eight years old and didn’t understand basic fluid measurements, how to write a cursive “Z,” or knew what masturbation was.<\/p>\n

Over the years, I’ve progressively gotten tired of that “orange taste.” So I was really excited when I noticed the new Citrucel Chocolate FiberShake Starter Kit at the national grocery store chain I shop at. <\/p>\n

Again, I was so happy that I decided to write another short poem:<\/p>\n

Fiber is really good for you.
\nIt aids with lowering cholesterol too.
\nBut it really helps when you go number two.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Citrucel Chocolate FiberShake Starter Kit came with five individual packets of the powder mix and a shaker cup. Just like all hot chocolate powder mixes, I had the option of using either milk or water. However, for some strange reason, I felt very compelled to use milk while watching a Girls Gone Wild commercial.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the taste of the Citrucel Chocolate FiberShake was good and kind of reminded me of Ovaltine<\/a>. It’s definitely better than the orangy Metamucil taste.<\/p>\n

Despite the great taste, I did have a few problems with it. The powder clumped up a little after shaking it with milk in the shaker cup. Also, if you let the mixture sit, the liquid will become sludge-like. However, that also happens with Metamucil. So you have to drink it pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

I’m really happy I can now get my fiber in a chocolatey form. I’m so happy that I feel compelled to write another short poem:<\/p>\n

Fiber is great.
\nIt helps you lose weight.
\nIt aids when you defecate.<\/i><\/p>\n
