50% of people pee funny after eating asparagus.

I'm one of them! I just had asparagus and tomorrow it's going to smell like there's a buffalo in the bathroom when I pee! Does it work that way with you? Remember, no right or wrong answers here, just smelly pee. Hugs, Devlyn

This might be one to check on Snopes, but I've heard that asparagus affects everyone's pee that way and makes that odor, but only about 20% of people can smell it. Most of us aren't going around smelling other people's pee so we just assume it's affecting our own pee and not other people's when they say they don't smell anything. Presumably it is making their pee smell but they don't know.

Sadly, I'm one of them cursed with this sense of smell.

Oh dear. Turns out, maybe we're both right.

Seriously... it was so bad I almost went to the doctor to see if I had a bladder infection or an STD or something. For a while, I was volunteering at a soup kitchen which somehow ended up with a lot of asparagus and I would eat there when I volunteered.
