    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.

    Sounds like my balls in the bath

    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.

    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.

    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

    Why do you put croutons in your mouth?

    OP, you should now ask why poo is brown and pee is yellow. And then after that, you will understand why Royalty poo blue poos.

    No, but there has often been a head on the toilet.

    Why does Bird cráp be white, and they eat all sorts of berries, worms and snails, and you see it everywhere, and never noticed a *bird pee on you?











    *The flying type

    Bird poop is faeces and urine combined

    In all seriousness,
    beetroot (solid) makes your pee purple
    and methylene blue (solid) makes your pee blue

    I can kinda see where he's coming from..... as beetroot soup can make your pee purple,

    In layman's terms, it just depends on what's in the soup...most stuff is absorbed as nutrients... however soup is considered a solid, and therefore gives you brown poo, usually.

    Bilirubin
    Bilirubin (formerly referred to as hematoidin) is the yellow breakdown product of normal heme catabolism. Heme is found in hemoglobin, a principal component of red blood cells. Bilirubin is excreted in bile and urine, and elevated levels may indicate certain diseases. It is responsible for the yellow color of bruises, the yellow color of urine (via its reduced breakdown product, urobilin), the brown color of feces (via its conversion to stercobilin), and the yellow discoloration in jaundice.

    Does sweetcorn get a free pass then?

    You're actually not pooing out whole sweetcorn kernels. Your system digests out the good stuff in the corn, but can't break down the cellulose 'skin', so that's what's in your poo. They still look full because other bits of waste get caught inside them; like how stuff gets into your duvet case when it's in the wash.

    the pigeons in my garden do be eating blackcurrent type berries and this can lead to you being victim to "purple rain" :)

    When you eat soup which is kind of a liquid, how come you don't piss it out, or maybe you do I don't know, but say for instance I eat some oxtail soup why isn't my pee brown? Or that orange colour when I eat tomato?

    Are you related to Teddy?
