“I didn’t do it on purpose but it was really stupid”
So he accidentally ate 3kg of Haribo?
‘Barnsley Man’ is this UKs version of ‘Florida Man’?
So eating excess amounts of either sugar-free gummy bears, or full sugar cola bottles will screw up your guts. Who would have thought…
“gummed up with gelatin”
3kg is a lot of cola bottles.
Honestly could go for a pack right about now
I love that on the third day he went for a carvery.
Fried eggs, now that’s the way to go.
Just make sure you keep a couple for novelty nipples.
“They tested me for food poisoning and I had a CT scan but it all came back clear.
“But after an internal investigation they asked if I liked sweets because I was completely blocked up with gelatin.”
——
WHAT? He went to the hospital and waited for the doctors to do tests and when they said “your blood tests show you are 6% cola bottle” he only then decided to tell them he’d eaten 3kg of them?
This sounds like something straight out of Chubbyemu from Youtube 🤣
What a complete teapot
He could have solved the problem himself if he started eating the sugar free variant afterwards
Love that Haribo declined to comment. Presumably because their PR team couldn’t get past “WTAF”
>Haribo declined to comment when approached by the BBC.
I think that is my favourite line in the whole article.
This is the bloke from the Channel 4 series about immigrants, ‘Go Back To Where You Came From’ . A Guardian reviewer called him a ‘human foghorn’.
The real reason the NHS is fucked. Yet another Type 2 incoming.
He’s also a guy who appeared on the channel 4 migration documentary “[Go back to where you came from](https://www.channel4.com/programmes/go-back-to-where-you-came-from)”. Which replicated a migrants journey, where the damage of misinformation on social media manifested in real time.
He persistently described next to every visited wartorn or recently wartorn country as a “shit hole”. To give him some credit, he did have a somewhat 180.
I’ll be honest I just looked up how much 3kg is and while it’s too much for me I’ll be honest over 3 days I don’t think it’s a crazy crazy amount.
So 2.9kg is the limit?
Wonder if he’d have got away with it if they were vegan and set with agar instead as it sounds like the gelatin is what fucked up his bowels 🤔
Remember the beer bottles – that would have been a binge!
Could have been worse. Could have been the Haribo sugar free bears.
Wouldn’t have been a three day binge though. And probably no carvery.
Kids and grown ups hate it so, a bunged up arse from Haribo.
I love how they’ve photographed him holding a bag of amorphous brown jelly that only on closer inspection becomes clear is cola bottles. At first, I thought it was what they took out of him!
HGV drivers dont fcuk about, do they.
Lightweight.
I do love a cola bottle
I wonder if it wasn’t just the gelatin, but also the shitload of citric acid et al. that suddenly entered this guy’s body.
If he had died, he would have definitely gone into the Darwin Awards
Haribo declined to comment when approached by the BBC
The thing about this article is you think its The Sun or Daily Mail but then its BBC News
Sounds Haribole
“Kids and grown up love it so, you’ll clog your arse with three kilos.”
World’s worst superhero
This is the best thing I’ve read all week.
This happened a year ago?
Why is it news now
Mr Rimmington said his diet and lifestyle had improved since the incident a year ago and his advice was “Haribo in moderation”.
He’ll be dining off the fact that he made it onto the BBC with this caper for years. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him as the guest they bring on “Big Fat Quiz of the Year” to see if the contestants know why he was in the news in 2025.

Good thing they weren’t Fizzy Cola Bottles.
