Stretched out, your intestines are about 3 times as long as you are tall. Even if you have the runs, it works well enough to digest food most of the way - at least it shouldn't be just chewed sandwich coming out, if it is, you might wanna hop over to the ER yesterday -, which includes reclaiming the acid.

The length of the small intestine is roughly 9–16 feet (ft), while the large intestine is shorter, measuring about 5 ft long.
Just here to add numbers to make it more visible!
16ft (4,8m) !!!

So I'm assuming the larger you are, the more intestines you have? As in length. So Im 6'4. That means I might have like 20ish feet worth? Thats pretty damn cool. Im more full of shit than other people :)

Side note, but my MIL with Crohn's can poop out something 20 min after she eats it if her digestive system is a bit testy with her.

You can manage a touch over that with ultra spicy food. I ate some wings in Manchester (they were very tasty as well as pretty warm) and about 25 mins later advanced gurgling noises were instructing me to find a pub and the toilet within with haste. The output was quite definitely the chili coating of the wings, oh my yes.

According to my math this means Taco Bell is able to break the light barrier. We must learn more!
