Why do boiled eggs smell like fart (seriously)?!


Question:

Why do boiled eggs smell like fart (seriously)?


Answers:
it's the sulfur in the eggs that make them smell that way.

Eggs contain a chemical similiar to sulphur which causes the smell.

I've often wondered about this and I believe it has something to do with the sulphur content!

Eat a dozen boiled eggs and drink beer Whoooo Weeee Now thats some spicy farts.

Maybe the question should be: Why do farts smell like boiled eggs?

Answer: Maybe people have eaten too many hard boiled eggs and so you have it.......

Sulfer compounds in the yolk.
