Question:

Why does your "pee" smell funny after u eat asparagus?


Answers:

Asparagus has sulfur containing amino acids that are metabolized to mercaptans, a group of smelly compounds.

Some sources say that only half the population produces the odor. Others say that we all produce the odor, but only about half of us can smell it. Ain't genetics wonderful?
