    Your body has expertly separated the water from the soup mix so your essentially back at square one. If you cleared out your system and then drank one cup of soup you could pee out the water from that soup and then dry out the pop and remix them again to get another cup of oxtail soup.

    Does sweetcorn get a free pass then?

    If it passes through, it's normally because it hasn't been chewed properly. Stomach acid etc work best if things have been chewed properly first. It breaks food down further, but you need your mouth to give it a headstart. Small pieces = greater surface area and all that...

    So there is really no use eating your own ****e as it has nothing of nutritional value?

    Very little of nutritional value to humans. It's crammed full of bacteria that live in the gut, and as they're evolved to live in the human gut, they're not very digestible. That's fine eating for other species though.

    There's your problem right there...
    Your Eating Liquids, your confusing your body.. Try drinking liquids..

    Have you tried Barocca, the vitamen yoks.. They make you piss pure orange in colour.

    The reason you get this from multi-vitamins is your body has enough of, for example Vitamin B3 (Niacin), which would just be "pissed" out again. B3 (Niacin) is usually the culprit for discolored urine out of all vitamins and minerals... Don't confuse the lad.

    Simple, viscosity. Foods are DIGESTED. Liquids are ABSORBED.

    Soup is a food, not a liquid. Look at what it contains and you'll soon be able to seperate foods and liquids. :eek:

    It's not actually carrots (well, unless you've recently eaten carrots of course!). It's parts of the stomach lining being ripped away.

    No I mean when you have eaten carrots, I'm not talking eating SHAFT length jobs, but diced carrot, you can chew and chew, and always comes back up in one piece.

    Just like sweet corn and your hole, comes out the same way it goes in

    Ah sorry :P I think root vegetables take longer for your stomach to break down, which is why you're more likely to see them in your vomit (but the stomach lining thing holds too whether or not you have eaten carrots. If you've chewed and chewed your carrots to the point of being puree, they won't come back up as a solid).

    Now your imagination is getting the better of you.

    Carrots are a very hard food to digest because of the cellulose density in the veg. The human body cannot digest cellulose. The chewed carrots you have eaten, remain chewed. The don't come back as the pieces they were before you chewed them.

    Yes but google doesn't have the funny answers like you get here.

    Yeah I noticed that, was told that if your piss is that colour you don't need the extra vitamins from those drinks and you have enough, that's why it turns extra green.

    Im not saying its true just what I heard

    I take the tablet form, think they are a great energy boost in the mornings. I can definitely feel it if I don't take one.

    Soup is NOT a liquid. It's kind of an emulsion. They are solid particles, albeit very small particles of meat an or veg, suspended in water.

    Because blue + yellow = green :P

    Seriously though, I'm not 100% sure on this one. I guess certain dyes must be capable of passing through the large intestine along with the water that is absorbed and make their way to the kidneys for excretion.

    If you have that blue toilet duck down the toilet it then turns a fetching
    shade of green:D
    Apparently if you eat enough beetroot, your p*ss turns red.
    And if you drink lots of tea your intestines get stained yellow/brown....

    My brother used to think that food went into your head instead of your gut, based on the fact that if you eat ice cream fast you get a headache. That's still not as dumb as what the OP just said, and my brother was about 4 at the time
