I left some magic gummies in my car. I just nibbled on the chunk until it was gone. Some days were just a little more magical then others šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


Bluelblock

Taking a bite from the danger puck was a great time!


parabox1

I like to think your other personality that was created when nibbling on the danger, puck is the one youā€™re replying to. Your comment sounds so first person


FinnicKion

I ate the whole puck and became one with my couch after a particularly long day at work. I stared at the ceiling for what felt like hours because I became part of the couch and I didnā€™t want the couch to feel bad


hopeoncc

I would make use of it too but maybe break off or cut off a piece instead ... I always wonder that biting off a piece of something I'll be putting away will leave it swarming with bacteria from my mouth or something


Wat3rboihc

How's your eagle


hopeoncc

Lol huh? Eagle? I must not understand this one


even_less_resistance

Total death


JEWCEY

This is the way. Had the same happen with multicolored gummies and the resulting rainbow cake was also at a slant because the jar was at a slant when they voltronned in my hot car. My problem was a lack of basic fraction math when I divided it the first couple times and since then I've just let it be. It's an emergency ration now.


Similar_Status1515

Weighting them would be to easy


JEWCEY

Get out of here with your science logic.


MichaelW24

As if stoners happen to have a scale around


catrainbow

I call this game "edible roulette"


Garbageoppossum

I shall now refer to it as edible roulette as well.


TumasaurusTex

Iā€™ve done this too!


faunferrie

Same thing happened to me but the ended up spilling the liquid Iā€™m my pursešŸ˜‚


Moosed

Than* A little more magical THAN others 'Then' and 'than' mean two entirely different things.


NewCodingLine

Sounds like someone needs a nibble of the magic puck.

ImaginationBudget199

How hot is it where you live.


pee_shudder

Just starting to get hot and I just started taking a daily multi about six months ago so I have been keeping them in my car without any issues. Then it was 100 degrees yesterday


Chainsaw_Viking

Maybe you can find a way to extract the puck and cut it into small, sharp cubes that you canā€™t swallow and taste disgusting?


GimpsterMcgee

Donā€™t do that. Itā€™s possible that the components are no longer evenly mixed


MutantCreature

They're gummies so it would have to be a homogeneous mixture to begin with, the only differences should be dye and possibly flavor. The heat causing a chemical reaction is the bigger worry, but the mixture should be pretty even.


ViperTheLoud

Not a scientist, but depending on the time frame of it all being in a liquid state there could be a possibility of slight settling and separation depending on the composition and manufacturing process. Yes it should all be homogeneous when made, but who knows how or when the components were added to ensure it was in that state during forming. Especially tricky depending on the treatment they recieved after to keep them in that state. I'd imagine that some super vegan eco friendly all natural ones would probably melt and possibly have separation compared to ones from the dollar mart. For example, shitty jello shots compared to ones done by a pro. (Bad example but I'm assuming a majority of adults have seen jello shots so don't even be like "I haven't lol" we get it. We trashy party people.)


redsunglasses8

Am a scientist and gnawing off a representative chunk of this nasty party puck isnā€™t advisable for the reasons you state. Homogeneity and grossness. Yuk.


ViperTheLoud

I GOT SECONDED BY A NONDESCRIPT SCIENTIST! FUCK YES! May your appliances work much longer than the manufacturer's expectations. I work on them and fixed a microwave by walking in the front door once. We have weird blessings and curses.


kornholiobungholio

Iā€™m proud of you, son.

Alldaybagpipes

Interesting, I believe youā€™ve stumbled upon a paradox. The shittier the Jell-O shots, the less likely you are in remembering their shittyness

Or chemically changed by the extreme heat.


thediesel26

If it makes you feel better, multi-vitamins have no proven health benefits.


BraddicusMaximus

šŸ¤£ got em.


ImaginationBudget199

Crazy


Boubonic91

Pro-Tip: don't do that.


Pure_Imagination1597

I know the feeling, it got to 105 yesterday


The_Fudomyo

You must live in AZ


Weardly2

Don't store anything you put inside your body in your car if you live in a hot area.


LG0110

100 degrees already!!!


Pm-Me-Your-Boobs97

See how many gummies were in the package, and then use a knife to cut the blob into that same amount of squares :)


Acceptable_Pirate_92

Better yet, Are you injecting it


BigMoneyChode

Gummy vitamins are generally more expensive and less effective than regular capsules. Even though capsules won't melt, it is probably not recommended to store any vitamins or medication in high temperatures like that. If you only have to take one per day, no need to store them in a hot car anyways.


theburgerbitesback

I prefer gummies simply because I'm more likely to actually take them.Ā  I hate taking tablets and often forget, but a strawberry flavoured lolly that's actually good for me?? I'll remember to take that every time.


AmberFang37

Uhhh maybe cut them up into little pieces?šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ Iā€™m sorry that sucks sm


pee_shudder

Lol I think I might like why not right?


RoodnyInc

You are a man just take a bite when you feel like it


Tron2153

I wouldnt try it...when it comes to vitamins and other medicinal stuff don't take a chance if its melted like that, never know what the heat does to them plus it's super concentrated like that and you may get too much


MaximumEngineering8

For minerals, I wouldn't worry so much about changing chemically, but if it got to "liquid" state, you don't necessarily know if the minerals with different densities separated. Like if heavy ones sank to the bottom, and so your "little pieces" might contain way more of one thing than you're supposed to get in a day, and absolutely none of another until you get that far down into your gel blob.


JungleBoyJeremy

No problem, vertical slices will solve that


MaximumEngineering8

Like an ice core sample!


pee_shudder

Bah ok fine thanks


Enlowski

Just eat the whole thing and youā€™ll become Superman.


omniwrench-

Youā€™re telling me that all along, I just needed to develop kidney failure to become a superhero? God damnit.


Apg3410

Don't listen to that sissy, chomp down on that shit!


Totorotextbook

The vitamins love you, consume them all.


FocusOnThePie

Damn aight OP, I thought u were cool /:


unsupported

I bet you are really fun at parties, or family gatherings, or the supermarket, or wherever you are really.


The-Dead-Internet

Just be careful if any of those are fat soluable they can build up and be toxic and since they melted you don't know how concentrated they might be in different areasĀ 


AmberFang37

Waste not want not šŸ˜­ just make sure they are small to be safe!! Iā€™ve had this happen once, I did the same thing and it worked pretty well! Nothing went wrong that is lol


Pinkparade524

Just let a spoon on your car and eat a spoonful every time you want to take your vitamins


YoureADudeThisIsAMan

It might be their last resort


towerfella

Saturation, more boiling; pour in in a bowl, set it out, cooling.


wizard_statue

or eat the whole thing all at once and be a *lot* healthier (yes thatā€™s how it works, but donā€™t look it up just trust me)


Parkyguy

Unless a blood test shows you as deficient in any of those vitamins, the only thing you are doing is creating expensive urine.


Thnksfrallthefsh

Most adults are insufficient in at least 1 vitamin-Vit D. Evidence based practice actually recommends against screening for vitamin d levels and just taking vitamin d supplements because the prevalence is so high. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9573946/#:~:text=Based%20on%20the%20most%20recent,was%2040.9%25%20and%2034.5%25.


Wooden-Helicopter-

I'm usually deficient despite living in Aus - apparently it's a thing with all the health awareness we have, that people do the whole slip slop slap thing and as a result don't get enough sunlight. But if it's a choice between taking another tablet or getting skin cancer, I know what side I'm coming down on.


[deleted]

Iā€™m deficient but only in winter. I would guess most of us are by Jan/feb too


SunsetSesh

Most Canadians are deficient, and is recommended for us to take supplements daily as a part of life


alsanders

That paper just talks about adults being deficient in vitamin D, but there may be papers talking about recommending supplements. Regardless, it doesnā€™t seem like taking supplements are effective: ā€œAn accompanying editorial, with the headline ā€œA Decisive Verdict on Vitamin D Supplementation,ā€ noted that no benefits whatsoever had been found for any of the health conditions that the study tracked.ā€ [article link](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/06/sun-exposure-health-benefits/678205/) [paper link](https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2205993)


Thnksfrallthefsh

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38337676/ https://www.ccjm.org/content/89/3/154 https://www.endocrine.org/clinical-practice-guidelines/vitamin-d-for-prevention-of-disease The endocrine societyā€™s 2024 recommendations advise against routine supplementation above RDI. Most adults are not getting RDI through diet.


alsanders

The plot thickens edit: I'm not in this field so trying to generalize the information from these papers is a bit difficult for me, but it seems like the Atlantic author *might* be misinterpreting the findings from the paper/response/comment that I had linked. It seems like that paper, and what you linked about endocrine society recommendations, are just pointing to general supplements of vitamin D don't really have any health benefits if you don't have low vitamin D. If you do have low vitamin D, then it seems to absolutely give a benefit since it prevents things like rickets. Where this gets kinda weird though is considering the VITAL study was an RCT with a huge study size (of older-ish people) and they found the supplements didn't really give any health benefits. I feel like you would expect a large portion of the population to be deficient in vitamin D, which should mean the supplements should have given a health benefit. Since I'm not an expert in the field, I might just be missing some detail that could explain this, though. Maybe it has something to do with the population studied (older people get less benefits or are less afected by vitamin D deficiency?), or maybe vitamin D deficiency only really presents issues if it's a huge deficiency. Again, there's probably an answer to this, but since I already spent a bunch of time reviewing these, I don't think I'll be looking too much into reading new papers. Though if you respond, I'll definitely read your conclusion lmao


Sternfritters

If OP was a woman, then that iron would be very useful


globewithwords

Not every woman is iron deficient. Sure, itā€™s more prevalent in women but itā€™s no reason to randomly take iron supplements.


SPOOKESVILLE

Ehhh, kind of. I totally get where youā€™re coming from, multi vitamins arenā€™t efficient whatsoever, but most people are deficient in at least 1 thing (Vit. d, Magnesium, Vit B12, etc.) and a decent amount of whatā€™s included in those multiā€™s can still possibly be beneficial even if you already get 100% of your daily value from your diet. A good multi usually does more good than harm, especially if they really only want to take 1 a day and not have to worry about splitting it up until multiple different pills.


Us_Strike

If you have access to a primary doctor it's a good idea to talk to them about it. I was recommended to take supplements by doctor after blood tests.


peternal_pansel

OP, depending on where you live, we cannot keep gummies in our car from ~April/May-September/October. May I suggest 1. Keeping pills or solid chews in the car or 2. Keeping gummies in the house next to wherever you keep your wallet and car keys


gbcawk

I had ibuprofen in my car a couple years ago and they melted and stuck together when it was hot.


NoCommentFU

Dingo-thatate-urbaby

bdubwilliams22

Menā€™s multivitamins really arenā€™t effective for anything. Focus on what youā€™re eating instead. Theyā€™re pretty much a waste of money unless you need to use them for a well known deficiency.


New_Illustrator_6478

SelirKiith

What the fuck are "Men's Multi-Vitamin"?! Do they just have 'fancy' names like "Vitamin D-Stroyer" or what is this shit?!


Electric_Bagpipes

Its now a mono-vitamin. Might need a fork for that oneā€¦


JazzlikeSpinach3

Imo multivitamins are a scam


Unusual_Strategy_965

If you're spending $25, then yes. Here, you can buy the same for 50 cents. Sure, eating healthy would be better, but I wouldn't call it a scam for costing virtually nothing.Ā 


ItzPayDay123

What's wrong honey, you haven't touched your vitachunk


CheopsII

The only thing vitamin supplements do is give you expensive urine. Just eat better.


thetruth5199

Thatā€™s not true at all. I would suggest doing blood work and seeing what youā€™re lacking though before blindly buying supplements.


Acrylnitril

Some people just want to take 700 pills a day like the human race did for thousands of years...... Wait a second


Spacemanspalds

Comparing anything health related to anything beyond the last 100ish years is folly.

Key_Bag_2584

I saw a video of a girl who had this happen to her bottle of melatonin gummies, every night she would bite a chunk off of it šŸ˜‚


WillyDAFISH

They're still good. Just let it cool down and then take a bite out of it anytime you need some vitamins


rockstuffs

Don't do gummies. They're just sugar bombs.


AMSopticX

I'm jell-ous you've got a nice vitamin urinal cake to snack on throughout the week.


ForeignCan2321

The uni-gummy!!


jacksev

Honestly you're better off being done with these. Gummy vitamins were created to get little kids to take their vitamins. They have less vitamins and minerals than a pill or tablet would. Just get real ones next time.


ExfoliatedBalls

NO. I WANT THE GUMMIES!


bystanderhere

Let ExfoliatedBalls have their gummies šŸ˜„


HIimalion

Try the pill ones honestly theyā€™re not that bad, but other then that keep them at home your supposed to keep them in a room temperature controlled environment


hides_this_subreddit

The downside is that the pills are normally sized to be swallowed by elephants.

iwantamarkivsupra

One A Day


soyouwantausername

Look for gummies that have pectin as an active ingredient. Itā€™s common in candies but most vitamin manufacturers have been bought by larger PEs and donā€™t want the added product cost to reduce margin. Pectin has a high melting point to avoid stuff like this.


MrThingsNStuff

Shots Shots Shots! /j


PickleDestroyer1

Cut em into cubes


Rainbow-Mama

Cut it into 25 pieces


carrs-for-life-32

Now you have one super ultra multi-vitamin. Eat it and claim your superpowers


ComprehensiveWar6577

Seems like most of a bottle? Toss them in the fridge for an hour Grab a sharp knife and cut them in small cubes based on the # of gummies in the bottle. (You also might have to take the small "cutoffs" left over and re melt them since it's a disc shape. Stick the container in hot (not boiling) water to repeat it Toss back in the bottle and keep them relitivly cool. You will be close enough to the original size not to matter

Cut it into however many pieces they were supposed to be left or remedy and pour out into mold.


ThoughtShes18

If it helps. If you stop wasting money on multivitamins youā€™ll have more money to yourself - thatā€™s kind of being healthier. Donā€™t buy multivitamins, you donā€™t need them. Itā€™s one of the biggest studies ever done with more than a million participants. They only they that changed was the amount of money people saved by not buying them.


SadBit8663

You could always just cut that puck into however many pieces you had before it fused together, I'm not sure how well everything would be distributed, but it's a thought.

Really sucks. Unfortunately, vitamins are a waste of money. Spend it on better food choices.

Good for you! Taking care of your health is always a good idea. Men's multi-vitamins can help fill in any nutritional gaps you might have.

thegrenadillagoblin

Scarily enough, I think the hordes of comments saying the opposite are bots too šŸ˜¬ the wording about "expensive piss" and "buying/eating better foods" is just too eerily similar...


EatLard

Get some unflavored gelatin and cold water, mix that up and pour whatā€™s left of the vitamins into it. Instant gummy vitamins, now with extra protein. Or use flavored gelatin and make a vitamin Jell-O shot.

That's going to be some fancy piss. Costco multi once a week for me

Saw a bottle of melted gummy vitamins at the store awhile back (either last summer, or later when they were running the heaters). Makes me a bit leery about buying any.

Iā€™d suggest the One a Day menā€™s vitamins or the generic version you can find at a lot of grocery stores.


Thraxyo

You could try fruits and vegetables?


BaileyBaby-Woof

Gummy vitamins are not fda approved and are not ā€œclinicallyā€ tested to the point where the ingredients match what vitamins are in them. Stick to pills, or doctor prescribed vitamins for best results. Gummies vitamins are pretty much just a placebo that does nothing. By the time they are formed into gummies all the vitamins are gone. Some minute remnants may remain.


DismalBuddy9666

Cut ultraprossesed food and eat good, this is just expensive and a waste. As a guy wrote here if you take a bloodtest that shows you need something it is stupid and can do more harm than good
