So, last night I had a steak dinner and included in the meal was fresh asparagus. I've had asparagus before many times but noticed no side-effects UNTIL this morning when I went to the bathroom.

This bathroom incident led me to Google and the subsequent discovery of a phenomenon known as "Asparagus Pee" (make sure you check out the comments at the end of the article) :D

Anyone else come across this or any other side-effects of certain foods or any other bizarre phenomenons?

Thoughts?

I Think I'll go nip out and get some asparagus!

It sounds interesting :D

It's not interesting, it's foul ;) Who though knows you might be in the percentage who isn't affected

No harm in finding out though :D

Ah, the lovely aroma of asparagus pee.

It's probably the best of the bunch but other things to try* are:

• Coffee
  
• Sugar Puffs
  
• Pot Noodle
  
• Chicken soup
  

*Or avoid, depending.

Sugar puffs have an extraordinary and wonderful effect on pee. My personal favourite has to be Beetroot though!

That extra visual angle tips it over the edge?

Hell yeh, I like the way you can control the depth of colour too by the amount you eat ;)

Now you could be on to something here.

I decided to look up some other things that have the same effect. I know that radish does. Beer tends to make it colourless and abundant.

But this was what Google turned up.

The first respondent caught my eye.

Not strictly speaking on topic, but related

Hey, that's Moe, Moe is Roger Kovaciny

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about!

Lmao.

Tis a shame we don't have Mountain Dew in blighty, I'd have liked to try this :(


*edit* On an interesting note, WTH did this thread just get downvoted!!! I guess it's ok to talk about anal beads but pee and food??!!! Hell NO!

Yeah - what the hell happened to it?

We used to have it.

It scared me, sure, but that doesn't mean I wanted it to go away.

I happen to know that if you eat a substantial amount of the same colour of wax crayons they turn your pee the corresponding colour.

Some people go very far in the interests of science - even if it means they won't be able to taste anything for the next week.

Yechhh!

It wasn't me btw, it was a friend of mine who was, shall we say, 'chemicaly inconvenienced' at the time ;)

What if you eat a sequence of coloured crayons?


Can you put on a display?

I'm thinking of the Red Arrows, only wetter.

Soooo.....

Roger Kovaciny is DEP?

But I thought DEP was Donald Teatpoop.

Man, I'm confused.

Methinks no one knows the REAL Moe. Has anyone seen a picture of him? I totally reckon he's DEP.

Of course we have no proof it is him, but comment 15

Hmmmmm methinks I wanna see Moe holding a Plime sign or some other predetermined proof of existence.

Methinks some trickery is afoot.
