PrincessInTheP 3,328 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I ate a gigantic beet salad for dinner. And beets make my pee look like rose wine. Big group of people playing " you had to be there" for a 4 hour dinner. It was fun but not my speed. So I excused myself from the dinner group, feigning sleepiness, to race home on foot alone , desperate to pee in the shower so I could film it for y'all and show you the pink. But I don't think enough time has passed. Peeing in the shower doesn't do anything for me sexually but I am fascinated by the pink colour when it happens. Hopefully in the morning 🤞😉 wannawatch and Dunney 2 Quote Link to comment
SpaceWonderer 699 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 As far as I know literally everyone does. Beets have natural dyes that make it through into the bladder and colon. hubertheiser 1 Quote Link to comment
yertle2012 294 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Omg yes. #1 and #2. I was drinking a lot of beet juice, and somehow I ended up glancing in the bowl (something I usually don't do) after a bm, and thought I was really sick lol. Even just pee can be alarming if you are drinking beet juice. Quote Link to comment

Have you ever eaten asparagus, or taken multi-B vitamin supplements? Oh totally, yes. But not everybody can smell their own asparagus pee. That's a recessive genetic trait. I take a vitamin b supplement on the regular and I actually don't like how yellow it makes my pee. I have some girlfriends who say that beets don't stain their pee, and as beets are a dominantly feminine food, I thought maybe it was something not all of us did. But I stand corrected. Good to know.

Good to know. I had no idea the ability to smell asparagus pee is a recessive genetic trait, and I had a career as a geneticist! Thanks for the info. I do not like beets so I have no idea whether it would it cause me to have pink pee. PrincessInTheP 1 Quote Link to comment

So maybe science has changed its mind? But yeah, asparagus pee, tongue rolling, green eyes...I was taught it's all the same. 🤷 By all means if I am wrong, I'd love to know. Bc this lil factoid is a fave and one I'd rather not spread if it's untrue Quote Link to comment
newp 109 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Yep, it's super common and not even the only thing that can change to color of your pee. I've seen pee even be green and bright purple before (some foods/drugs can cause this). Pretty much as long as your pee isn't brown/red/port wine color'd it's 99% likely to be fine.
