It's been quite a while, but I've heard many mythical stories of people spiking a drink with a few drops of Visine and the person shits violently.

it's not visine. it's some other liquid in a visine type bottle.

Never heard of that, but a drop of hydraulic fluid will give someone the squirts.

Reformulated to remove the thalene ingredients or whatever.

Phenolphthalein is your answer.

I have heard this one and for some reason believed it. I have since changed my mind because I have put drops in my eyes and had them drip down my face and into my moth with no effect. I can't say I wasn't worried.

heard of it years ago. Knew a woman who was a bartender wand put it in her ex's and his date's drinks. She swears it worked.

So we've got a movie and a vindictive woman confirming this works. Must be true.

Side effects
A common urban legend is that a few drops of Visine in an unsuspecting victim's drink will cause harmless but debilitating bouts of explosive diarrhea, akin to that of a laxative.[3][3] This will not produce explosive diarrhea, but oral administration of Visine can induce dangerous side effects related to Visine's ingredient tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride such as:

Dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia)
Blurred vision
Nausea and vomiting (as opposed to explosive diarrhea)
Difficulty in breathing or even a complete halt in breathing
Elevating (hypertension) then dropping (hypotension) blood pressure
Possible coma
Seizures and tremors
Anyone ingesting Visine should get medical attention or contact a poison control center immediately.[4
