I checked that my pee smelled when I ate asparagus but simply by default.

You see, you really are missing the one other possible choice - My Pee Stinks All The Time.

So, whether I eat asparagus or not, my pee stinks.

Bonus Pop Culture Reference:

In the movie "Wolf", Jack Nichelson is standing at a urinal next to an annoying guy, then turns to pee on him. He grins his JN grin and says "asparagus" in that wise-ass way of his.

I don't want to know how you people are smelling your pee. I'm usually standing too far away from mine.

Thib: if you have asparagus pee, you don't have to put your nose in it. You'll smell it at the usual distance. :-)

Gotta chime in with my favorite Aggie joke. An Aggie and a teasip (that is, a Univ Texas Student) both end up at the urinals during a ATM/UT game. The teasip finsishes, zips up, and starts washing his hands at the sink. The Aggie finishes, zips up, and heads to the door. The teasip comments, "At UT they teach us to wash our hands after pissing." The Aggie responds, " At A&M we learn not to piss on our hands."

Someone once told me that it had to do with being dehydrated, or something about the kidneys.

Then again, this person also didn't know what I was talking about at first, so maybe they were just in "know-it-all" mode or something, having to have an intelligent sounding response to hide the fact that they were clueless to begin with.

Though, I have noticed that my pee smells less bad after eating asparagus when I've had a lot of water that day, and it smells stronger if I haven't had a lot of water or sweated a lot that day. So maybe there's something to it?

and thibodeaux, you know your shit stinks, right? If you do know that, I will not accuse you of sticking your nose in your shit.

Smells carry, you don't have to rub your nose in something to smell it, and if you do, you should have that looked at.

We eat asparagus all the time and I have always noticed an odor, but I usually steam my asparagus. But after trying a new way of preparing it by brushing with olive oil and sprinkling with salt and pepper then roasting it in the oven for 15 mins. there was no odor to my urine. So, does the preparation alter or change the occurance of the odor? Not really sure on that.

I've become an asparagus nut over the past little while, but alas, everytime I enjoy it my piss smells like... plastic. Thats the best way to describe it, that awful plastic smell. It must be the sulfur.

Ummm. Everyone has the smelly pee after
eating Asparagus. Yes, Everyone.

But . . . Not Everyone can Smell it!

Mine has this heavy metalic smell, much
like if you smelled a lead fishing sinker.

I often wondered what the hell caused that and
sometimes thought something might be wrong with
my kidney's or liver.

Then, one day on a stroll in the woods with my Dad,
He starts to gag and says "Holy shit a skunk is nearby, don't you smell it?"
I sniffed the air and instantly recognized it, I replied, "Yea, I smell something, but it's not entirely bad, in fact my piss sometimes smells just like that!"

He stops gaggin and gives me the "Have you gone insane?" look.

I forgot all about it until the other day my piss smelled like lead, again.
I again feared a medical condition because my mom
was recently diagnosed (like a week ago) with cancer. So this time I started searching the internet, and I found all this great information
and I can now prove to my dad that I'm
not insane.

Just because you can't smell it, doesn't mean your piss doesn't stink!

I was a bit dehydrated after eating the aspar soup. Damn nasty stank. I normally don't eat the stuff and now I have one more reason to avoid it. Glad to read it's common and not my kidneys shutting down.
