Ask PoopReport: Edible Deodorant

Posted 08.31.2004 by Poopstain McLain (30)
Dear PoopReport,

There are stool and urine deodorizers for smelly cats, so there ought to be a way to make our own poo smell good. What should I be ingesting to have good-smelling excrement?

My guinea pig has the sweetest pee in the world, because I feed him tons and tons of parsley. It is high in vitamin C, and because of it, he smells like a subtle dill pickle.

I would check out some herb websites to see if things like parsley (supposed to be good for halitosis), cilantro, or basil could help your digestive tract.
For dogs, there are a multitude of things to put on their food to change the composition of their droppings. Many things that are OK for dogs are OK for us, and the FDA has to put "not intended for human consumption" on them for reasons I know not.
(Example tetracycline is not good for children, but adults with their adult teeth can use it as eye drops, commonly given to animals, instead of the human erythromycin.)

Maybe you should check out a dog catalog, and do some research for side effects of the active ingredients.

I do know that when my diet is almost vegan, I don't smell so much. Good luck. Holy cow, first post..............naw, can't say it.

Whenever I eat really heavy egg pasta, that's how my shit comes out smelling... like egg pasta. And that's a great smell.

how about this --

Wheras:
Anti-biotics kill the bacteria in your colon

and Wheras:
Bacteria in your colon are what causes poop to smell

Resolved:
The shits after heavy bouts of anti-biotics must not smell.

Discuss.

Disguising your poo's natural stink totally defeats its purpose. Its unfair to the turd itself. It belittles the turd, lowering that turd's self-esteam, and leaves the turd ashamed of itself.

Then think of your own pride. Don't you want your shit to stink? Don't you want to have a great sense of being a human? When I shit, I want to feel like a man. I want to feel like a part of the human race. And my friend, the human race shits. So when I leave a bathroom fogged in my stench, I feel a great sense of pride; proud to be a man who can leave an impression behind me, one that people may talk about for years.

When I think of poop stench, I look at it as its own form of penis envy. I can't brag to anyone about having a 12" penis, but I take great pride in knowing that I can stench-up a bathroom. And when it comes down to it, I'd rather have that reputation.

Poopstain McLain, I urge you to let steaming turds lie. When you accept your turds for who they really are, no matter how much they stink, they will accept you for who you are as well. Your turds will treat you right, and you can take great pride in your own man or womanhood.

Ben Franklin broached this very subject in his "A Letter to a Royal Academy" in 1781. He suggested humanity would be better served by investing in a way to make farts smell better than other more scientific endeavors. This is a funny letter from "Fart Proudly".

Tydirium (516) -- 08.31.2004

it's long, but here it goes:

GENTLEMEN,

I have perused your late mathematical Prize Question, proposed in lieu of one in Natural Philosophy, for the ensuing year, viz. "Une figure quelconque donnee, on demande d’y inscrire le plus grand nombre de fois possible une autre figure plus-petite quelconque, qui est aussi donnee". I was glad to find by these following Words, "l’Acadeemie a jugee que cette deecouverte, en eetendant les bornes de nos connoissances, ne seroit pas sans UTILITE", that you esteem Utility an essential Point in your Enquiries, which has not always been the case with all Academies; and I conclude therefore that you have given this Question instead of a philosophical, or as the Learned express it, a physical one, because you could not at the time think of a physical one that promised greater Utility.

Permit me then humbly to propose one of that sort for your consideration, and through you, if you approve it, for the serious Enquiry of learned Physicians, Chemists, &c. of this enlightened Age. It is universally well known, That in digesting our common Food, there is created or produced in the Bowels of human Creatures, a great Quantity of Wind.

That the permitting this Air to escape and mix with the Atmosphere, is usually offensive to the Company, from the fetid Smell that accompanies it.

That all well-bred People therefore, to avoid giving such Offence, forcibly restrain the Efforts of Nature to discharge that Wind.

That so retained contrary to Nature, it not only gives frequently great present Pain, but occasions future Diseases, such as habitual Cholics, Ruptures, Tympanies, &c. often destructive of the Constitution, & sometimes of Life itself.

Were it not for the odiously offensive Smell accompanying such Escapes, polite People would probably be under no more Restraint in discharging such Wind in Company, than they are in spitting, or in blowing their Noses.

My Prize Question therefore should be, To discover some Drug wholesome & not disagreeable, to be mixed with our common Food, or Sauces, that shall render the natural Discharges of Wind from our Bodies, not only inoffensive, but agreeable as Perfumes.

That this is not a chimerical Project, and altogether impossible, may appear from these Considerations. That we already have some Knowledge of Means capable of Varying that Smell. He that dines on stale Flesh, especially with much Addition of Onions, shall be able to afford a Stink that no Company can tolerate; while he that has lived for some Time on Vegetables only, shall have that Breath so pure as to be insensible to the most delicate Noses; and if he can manage so as to avoid the Report, he may any where give Vent to his Griefs, unnoticed. But as there are many to whom an entire Vegetable Diet would be inconvenient, and as a little Quick-Lime thrown into a Jakes will correct the amazing Quantity of fetid Air arising from the vast Mass of putrid Matter contained in such Places, and render it rather pleasing to the Smell, who knows but that a little Powder of Lime (or some other thing equivalent) taken in our Food, or perhaps a Glass of Limewater drank at Dinner, may have the same Effect on the Air produced in and issuing from our Bowels? This is worth the Experiment. Certain it is also that we have the Power of changing by slight Means the Smell of another Discharge, that of our Water. A few Stems of Asparagus eaten, shall give our Urine a disagreeable Odor; and a Pill of Turpentine no bigger than a Pea, shall bestow on it the pleasing Smell of Violets. And why should it be thought more impossible in Nature, to find Means of making a Perfume of our Wind than of our Water?

For the Encouragement of this Enquiry, (from the immortal Honor to be reasonably expected by the Inventor) let it be considered of how small Importance to Mankind, or to how small a Part of Mankind have been useful those Discoveries in Science that have heretofore made Philosophers famous. Are there twenty Men in Europe at this Day, the happier, or even the easier, for any Knowledge they have picked out of Aristotle? What Comfort can the Vortices of Descartes give to a Man who has Whirlwinds in his Bowels! The Knowledge of Newton’s mutual Attraction of the Particles of Matter, can it afford Ease to him who is racked by their mutual Repulsion, and the cruel Distensions it occasions? The Pleasure arising to a few Philosophers, from seeing, a few Times in their Life, the Threads of Light untwisted, and separated by the Newtonian Prism into seven Colors, can it be compared with the Ease and Comfort every Man living might feel seven times a Day, by discharging freely the Wind from his Bowels? Especially if it be converted into a Perfume: For the Pleasures of one Sense being little inferior to those of another, instead of pleasing the Sight he might delight the Smell of those about him, & make Numbers happy, which to a benevolent Mind must afford infinite Satisfaction. The generous Soul, who now endeavors to find out whether the Friends he entertains like best Claret or Burgundy, Champagne or Madeira, would then enquire also whether they chose Musk or Lilly, Rose or Bergamot, and provide accordingly. And surely such a Liberty of Expressing one’s Scent-iments, and pleasing one another, is of infinitely more Importance to human Happiness than that Liberty of the Press, or of abusing one another, which the English are so ready to fight & die for. -- In short, this Invention, if completed, would be, as Bacon expresses it, bringing Philosophy home to Mens Business and Bosoms. And I cannot but conclude, that in Comparison therewith, for universal and continual UTILITY, the Science of the Philosophers above-mentioned, even with the Addition, Gentlemen, of your "Figure quelconque" and the Figures inscribed in it, are, all together, scarcely worth a FART-HING.

I agree with ThreePly shit should stink. Your only smelling it for like 5 to 15mins then once you flush the stink slowly goes away.

The pants pooper (not verified) -- 08.31.2004

macros (not verified) -- 08.31.2004

of course poop smells accordingly to its origin -the food you eat- so watch out for black beans,i also noticed that salads make your crap smell .. well, not so bad.

beet makes your poo red

Ty, thanks for posting Ben Franklin's letter. I wonder how it was received by the distinguished members of the Academy; I imagine with a chorus of harrumphs. Franklin's barely restrained delight at thumbing his nose at pompous Academics (of whom he was surely an equal) was a real treat to read. I loved his idea of offering guests a choice of fart scent, as you would offer a wine selection. The satisfaction that would come from being able to "delight the Smell of those about him" with perfumed farts, rather than clearing a room. And of course, equating the importance of the freedom to express one's "Scent-iments" with freedom of the press - pure genius.
I wonder; should the Manifesto have a codicil addressing the importance of freedom in farting? Ben makes a pretty strong case for it in his letter.
P.S. - Daphne; Ben seems to agree with you about the benefits of the Vegan approach, claiming that the vegetarian "if he can manage so as to avoid the Report, he may any where give Vent to his Griefs, unnoticed."

fudgepump (not verified) -- 09.01.2004

P.P.S. Daphne; you showed admirable restraint in forsaking any mention of the cosmic importance of the ordinal ranking of your post.

ThreePly, if you are going to use the word self-esteem, please spell it correctly.

Dude, who cares if your poo smells good? It's not everyone is standing around sniffing it...if they are, maybe that's just a personal problem like people with really oily hair and no good shampoo. But anyway, they have deodorizers for toilets, that should be good enough. OO! Diapers must be scented for people who poop in their pants, eh? That must be great. Pads are scented. Everything is about as scented as it can get. Personal things in your body shouldn't be scented. This is all opionated, of course. But hey, that's what this for. I don't want any CRAP about it. Hehe.

Poop rocks my socks,
Magula!

healthy 1 (1427) -- 01.18.2007

What should I be ingesting to have good-smelling excrement?

Lots and lots of roses. You will have the sweetest smelling shit in the world.

My Shit Don't Stink (not verified) -- 03.28.2008

I've always found my poop smelling like it could be a main ingredient in some gourmet dinner by eating Italian herbed Stewed Tomatoes! It smells as good coming out as it did going in! Also, since I eat lots of pasta when I eat stewed tomatoes, that does not add any digestive smells to the mix. I do usually have spiced ground beef and cheese in there to, which would start the digestive smells to a degree, but the bottom line is, when I eat my own pasta with stewed tomatoes and Italian herbs (especially the sweet basil and oregano) , You would think by the smell that it was a serving of the original food!
