The Bite:
Pop a few natural gas relief tabs, and you'll have the last laugh. And no, we're not pulling your finger.
Tired of being the butt of the (fart) joke?

The Benefits:
- Toot less. Stop those "You smelt it, you dealt it" accusations before they start.
- Pollute less. Human gas sometimes contains CO2 and/or methane (both greenhouse gases) and the average adult passes gas 14-23 times per day.
- Relief for veg-heads. Because of their diets, vegetarians and vegans tend to fart more than omnivores. Now there are anti-fart formulas without animal products.
Personally Speaking:
It wasn't us.
Wanna Try:
- Nature's Plus Rx-Fiberific GI Relief - contains tons of natural gas relievers, such as cinnamon, ginger and turmeric ($17).
- Hyland's Natural Relief Gas Tablets - under-the-tongue tabs with asafetida and nutmeg. Note: contains milk lactose ($9).
- Nature's Answer Charcoal - vegan capsules with activated charcoal, a classic cut-the-cheese-cutter ($8).
- Bean-zyme - the vegan equivalent of Beano (which contains fish gelatin), with a proven anti-gas enzyme ($7).
Cocktail Fact
Farm animals account for 20% of global methane emissions, but most is produced by burping, not farting.
Bang For The Bite
You'll pollute the air a little less, but adopting this tip is mostly about giving Biters (and anyone within a 5-ft radius) some non-comic relief.
