...GAWDAMN!!! Why does my pee stink to high heaven after I eat it!!! LOL!
Everyone's pee smells like that after eating asparagus but you and I are among the special 22% of people who have the receptors to detect this interesting aroma! 78% of people reading this post won't know what you are talking about. What I find interesting is how soon after eating asparagus that you can smell it.

Not necessarily everyone's does, but most do.

Stinky but worth it. I always eat green asparagus. Does white do the same thing?

The stinky pee is so disgustingly awesome. Nothing like a bathroom punch in the face reminder at 3:00 AM that you had aparagus the night before.

That happens to me with coffee...
Yeah, I've got that receptor. It's an unbelievably nauseating smell.
Asparagus. Not even once.
I love asparagus, and I don't know what you're talking about.
I think I'm genetically flawed, but in this case, it's likely not a curse.

Reminds me of the first time i had beets. I was pretty sure that I had been abducted by aliens (again). Nope, not that time, just beets.

Asparagus.
This is one of those words that my ESL brain had to work hard on so that I say it properly.
My brain processes it as ass-pair-AGG-us.
And, yeah, my pee stinks. But lots of stuff makes my pee stink.

I wish I didn't have that reaction to the smell or make the smell in the first place, but I do. I also live about 10 minutes South of the largest asparagus-producing region in the US (maybe the world...but for sure the US). Such a shame, but I can't deal with the nausea from that stank!
