Urine for some fun

Ok, originally this was going to be a post about how dehydration can cause your urine to turn brown and that you should continue to drink water until it become clear again...but that just isn't as interesting as this:

FOODS THAT CAN CHANGE THE COLOR OF YOUR URINE

Red: Beets, blackberries, rhubarb
Orange: Carrots, winter squash
Yellow: B Vitamins
Green: Asparagus

(Please see full article from Mayo Clinic here.)

Something to sing while you are on the potty:

I am picturing you bursting out of the bathroom, "Martin, look at the color of my pee. Can you guess what I've been eating?"

stu: Actually, we don't generally share those things with each other.

holly: You are welcome.

bubblewench: What? Now I need to go get some of those...

Oh that was so cute. I love Debbie Harry. We saw her about 3 years ago and she's still a rocking chick.

Beetroot can turn other stuff red too. Just saying...
