Apparently some people think they don't get it, but I read a study ages ago that said everyone gets it just not everyone can smell it!

No it's definitely a thing-I also had asparagus tonight and I know my wee will smell odd later.

I think everyone's wee smells weird after asparagus but I think that some people can't detect the smell.(And that's why some people think they don't have it)

PatMustardsBigTool · 07/04/2016 19:29

Yep. Asparagussy wee, not just you!

ClaraLane · 07/04/2016 19:30

I get this and I also get it with sugar puffs too!

BikeGeek · 07/04/2016 19:30

it amazes me just how fast it gets into your wee

Cantchangeusernameback · 07/04/2016 19:33

Yes. And sugar puffs, and coffee.

wonkylegs · 07/04/2016 19:36

Asparagus wee is normal. Another one who can't believe quite how quickly you can smell it.

Dvallin · 07/04/2016 19:42

Fennel tea does the same thing, definitely not just you.

I went to a wedding once where asparagus was served... The loos reeked by the time come on Eileen was playing.

LIZS · 07/04/2016 19:53

oldjacksscrote · 07/04/2016 20:12

I used to give my baby asparagus, now changing an asparagus wee nappy first thing in the morning is nasty.

OliveBranchCollins · 30/05/2016 08:31

I quite like the smellBlush

carabos · 30/05/2016 09:10

I find the smell appears immediately. It's so bad that I don't eat asparagus these days.

VulcanWoman · 30/05/2016 09:15

I didn't/can't smell anything different.

BestIsWest · 30/05/2016 09:19

Yes to asparagus wee but not fennel tea. I drink a lot of it and have never smelled anything different.
