Yes, but the thought of swapping someone's candy bar or breakfast cereal bar for one of those colonoscopy food bars is the first thing that came to mind:-)

Do you have Exlax chocolate in US?
Tiny chocolate squares that are laxatives.
kids here in UK used to melt them down and stick them to the back of regular chocolate bars to give out to "friends" (or teachers)

I don't know if they still have that "chocolate" but remember my grandmother taking it when I was a kid!!

The Preps we have now are really terrible. It requires and prescription and I imagine the cost will be HIGH. Generally, most GI's will give the RX for the cheap solution version and if a patient wants to pay extra for a kit like this they will probably have the option. It will take the drug companies awhile to convince them. The numbers look good so far in the study!
