Because they’re concentrated. Fart in a sports bottle next time, cap it and take a whiff. I bet it’ll be closer to a ‘water fart.’

Eggs are full of sulphur. A sulphuric fart tend to be highly concentrated and obnoxious in odor . Sometimes they burn your butt or even burn holes in your pants. If it burns you know its going to stink. Eat a bunch of eggs and pinto beans and see what happens.

Sorry but I was duped into smelling the ‘strawberry’ scent in friend’s squeeze bottle one unfortunate time. It was by no means rad. I almost projectile vomited.

All of my flatulations smell the same so I must be unique.

Ew, the other week, there was this water bottle sitting on my boyfriend’s desk that just smelled foul. It was so absurd and so stinky, I couldn’t stop smelling it. I have no idea what it could have possibly been. There was nothing inside it, but the drinking rim smelled like a combination of really nasty feet and BO. I have no idea how/why this could have happened.

My GF says her farts smell like roses. Works for me, I will not say otherwise.
But we all know better.. WINK, WINK.
