Just add sweet onions

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - It's a "factual reality" that beans make you break wind, says South Africa's advertising watchdog.

A TV advert for sweet onions showed a rugby player eating beans that made him smell "stinky." The advert claims that "with sweet onions there are no tears, no burn and definitely no stink."

The country's Dry Bean Producers Organization complained about the advert on the basis that the "stinky" charge was untrue but the Advertising Standards Authority threw out the charge and said it was widely known that beans produce gas.

"It plays on an objectively determinable factual reality which cannot be denied..." the ASA said on its Web site.

Who would want to lessen the effect of beans? That's part of the fun.

Beans, beans, the magical fruit,
the more you eat, the more you toot.

So, do you throw sweet onions into the pot when you cook the beans? If so, how many? Do you eat the onions raw before or after eating the beans? What are the particulars? How sweet must they be?

That's not true. Beans are full of "exotic" carbohydrates which we lack the enzymes to digest. The quality and quantity of your flatulence is determined by the types and number of bacteria in your gut that can digest it.

Is that "Tears" as in rhymes with ears? or rhymes with airs?

I've never had a bean so brutal that it gave me a tear (rhymes with air).
