Couple of questions involving pee.

[Dog--]

Ok, so if I drank like a whole bunch of, say, blue food colouring, would my pee turn blue?

I assume it probably would, but that leads me to the next question - is food colouring harmful? I know Red #40 apparently is bad, but what if I tried blue? How much is bad for you? What can it do to you?

I think it'd be interesting to try this.

No.

Not sure about the others. Google...

 

[CyberPitz]

The only reason urine changes color is the amount of "waste". Food coloring is not 100% waste, thus you will not get the full effect of the color.

 

[Tyguy]

try drinking your own pee

 

[Dog--]

@ Viperidae - wtf, in your link food colouring isn't even there. What point did you make?

 

[Viperidae]

That the colour of the product has literally nothing to do with the effect on your urine. Look at the effect of beets.

 

[Dog--]

The effect of beets like... Contradicts what you're saying though.. It says they can make your pee turn reddish/pink.

 

[Warped]

Urintroublemister!

 

[Viperidae]

OK I misspoke. It rarely does. It has more to do with whether the substance that makes the product that colour will be filtered out by your body.

 

[Dog--]

Yea, so if you drank like a Pepsi can of concentrated food colouring, wouldn't atleast SOME of it get through and at the very least make you pee a blue tint?

 

[MorganFreeman911]

DRINK A 4 LITER JUG OF BLUE COLORING.

 

[OmegaX]

Oh god I saw black urine on the list. If I started pissing black I would probably freak out.

I normally piss out a clearer color because I drink a lot of water. I'm guessing this isn't a totally bad thing. It says over hydration but it seems more like well hydrated to me.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I'm sure that drinking a can of food colouring would cause a lot of [blue] vomiting.

Well it would be greenish wouldn't it.

 

[xcellerate]

this thread was not nearly as erotic as I had originally hoped.

 

[Krynn72]

If I peed on vegeta, would that mean he is into beastiality?

 

[Raziaar]

So if you urinate into a bowl or something... And it's all clear from being well hydrated, why after a few hours does it turn much more extremely dark and develop the odor it didn't have very noticeable before?

 

[Danimal]

Why are you urinating in bowls, Cowsirs?

 

[Raziaar]

Why are you urinating in bowls, Cowsirs?

lol. I worded that wrong... partially.

Toilet Bowl. That's what we call that part here. As opposed to a urinal.

I bet it still sounds foreign to you Austrailians or British people though.


And I figure the answer has something to do with the way the chemicals break down and stuff... kind of like how chlorine breaks down in a pool when exposed to sunlight and shit.

I was just wondering if anybody could be more... informative.

According to Skippy, of skippy's list fame, it does. But when he did it he drank 3 quarts (6 pints, 3.4 liters) of the relevent food colouring in order to get the effect.

Also, if you eat loads of beetroot your urine will turn red (which caused a bit of a panic with one of my cousins who thought he was pissing blood)

That wikipedia article says eating asparagus will turn it green.


Question is... Does being dehydrated and eating shitloads of asparagus and beets cause you to piss the colors of the Lithuanian flag?

 

[barbarbarbarbar]

According to Jon Tickle from Brainiac , it depends on your genetics.

 

[Darkside55]

Nobody has yet asked the question: WHY do you want to pee blue?

 

[barbarbarbarbar]

He's probably bored

 

[CptStern]

the best way to change the colour of your pee is to have someone (hey, I'll do it) kick you really hard in the general area of the bladder. it might not be blue though

 

[Tyguy]

or just cause your liver to fail and watch as you piss out a nice dark substance.

 

[CptStern]

ya but that can take YEARS <puts on steel toed boots>

 

[Sgt.Tibbs]

As soon as I get a decent video camera, I'll try it.

 

[ríomhaire]

I once saw a guy shit orange after. He had drunk like 3 litres of Fanta between that day and the day before. Don't know if there was a connection. And no, I'm not going to explain why I saw a guy shitting.

Riomhaire was linking with some ****ed up vortigaunts.

Sorry Dog but you have to be joking because that's the dumbest question ever.

 

[Dog--]

Do you know the answer?

It's not so much WILL it turn blue, I imagine it'd have a blue tint depending on how much I drink, but how harmful is it to drink a bunch of blue food colouring?

 

[VirusType2]

Are you still talking about this shit Dog--? How the hell would we know. DO this. Go buy an industrial sized Windex and guzzle that sheeet.


I buy those 2000Flushes thingies so when I piss I can turn the pretty blue to a pretty green, and it the green looks great with a shade of brown too. I'm not joking. It was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful color.

 

[Dog--]

Still talking about it? This thread is a day old. Not even a full 24 hours actually.

And I thought someone here would know because there are actually a lot of smart people here, maybe someone takes biology at university or something and would know or could make an educated guess on this.

Dick.

EDIT: And by the way - I searched google, but this isn't exactly the kind of thing that's easy to find.. "is too much food colouring fatal" doesn't work great.

 

[VirusType2]

you should eat a thousand red M&M's

 

[VirusType2]

FFFFUUUUUUUUU--. I've been awake for 2 days meeting this deadline for work. My eyes are trying to cross. My brain is done. I can only focus on parts of what people are writing before I mash something cohesive into the keyboard to relieve the pain in my LAN hands. I'm drifting in and out of coherence. Yes, I think this is the end.

A urinal is not a toilet bowl, but I'm not sure if you meant that anyway

When you say "if you were to pee into a bowl or something", that implies using something other than a toilet :arms:
