Why do some farts reek and others dont?

[Damocles]

Now that I've thought about it and re-read the question, to be specific it probably has something to do with swallowed air versus processed.

You swallow loads of air per day and it goes through your digestive system quickly. Other farts are made because a gas is a byproduct of the digestive enzymes breaking down your food, which I presume will be the smellier ones.

I imagine that this is a factor too but I don't know to what degree. I'm going to see if any research has been done on this incredibly important question, right after I finish this call to Henry Kissinger and get Obama off hold.

I've had a growing sense that the cellar wasn't worth visiting anymore. The reasons were a bit vague, but this thread underlines things nicely.

Quality in The Cellar at an all time high, I see.

Very interesting Damocles. I think you may be correct. I did gulp the yard of ale which the air theory seems plausible.

However while gulping said air and beer I also had a handful of peanuts

Agreed. I've just compared this to the quality threads you started and there is no comparison.

An 8 ft long pole with a hook on the end is the best thing for smelly farts!!

For opening the window?

For some reason I misread farts for fans.

I misread reek for leek so no biggie.

But to add to the op's question - why do I like the smell of my own farts but can't stand the smell of some else's farts? Dirty barstewards!
