Think your bum don't stink?

nah
If your BUM stinks, it wants washing.
Feces are supposed to stink. Otherwise dimwits would play in in them and possibly eat them. People wouldn't be interested in washing their hands, thus spreading "germs".
The "why should i care" section of the site refers to smelly airline toilets. Maybe everyone who gets on a plane should have a mandatory enema before boarding.
Eat less meat. :)

If I were to take these pills, I am certain that I would soon find myself examining the smell and color of my own poop, out of curiousity and admiration. That doesn't strike me as a healthy hobby.

Er, no. I lived with various vegans and vegatarians voluntarily (damn, that's all I got) during and after college. If anything, the smell walking into the bathroom after they took a dump was worse - sometimes far more so - than the normal omnivores in the dorm/house. Don't know what you're on but I have some first-nose experience in the matter.

During the first couple weeks of taking Whiff, you may experience significant flatulence and/or diarrhea.
I hope the diarrhea is stink-free!

Actually, if your stool is green, it probably mean it passed through your intestinal tract too quickly for the bile it carries to mellow into the typical brown.
Intestinal bleeding would cause blackish, tarry stools, IIRC. Which might also be masked by this nonsense.
Now, if they could make flatulence smell good -- that would be to the benefit of mankind.

I realized immediately that the issue was one of 100% participation. It wouldn’t be good enough just for MY poop to stop stinking – this needed to be a global movement to make EVERYONE’s poop less stinky!

Yeah, my brother was a vegan for a time and used to use this argument on me as well. The only thing eating less meat does is desensitize your sense of smell...because vegan and vegetarian shit is rank as hell.

Seriously, I saw a "first contact" documentary made in the forties, showing some Papuan New Guineans meeting white people for the first time. Their appearance, along with their portable Gramaphone, led the Papuans to believe the white men were ghosts or something.
Until one of them noticed one of the men take a dump in the bushes, went over to have a sniff, came back and reported that the men, were in fact, men. Now, how would this story have turned out if these whiteys had had the benefit of this wonderful "Whiff"?
(For further verification of their mere manly status, one of the women tried a little hanky-panky with one of the explorers. All went well. So, apparently, sex and shit are the prime identifiers of humanity. By the way, I understand androids don't shit at all. So there.)

Eat a handful of almonds a day and your crap smells like marzipan -- well, marzipan mixed with shit. It's probably a cheaper and healthier option than buying this product, although it may not be a true improvement on the original odor.
Canadian Business had an article on something called Just A Drop a few months ago. You just put a couple of drops of this liquid in the toilet before you use it and it's supposed to reduce the smell substantially. My husband and I were liviing in an old apartment with a poorly ventilated bathroom at the time. We were barely managing not to kill each other by striking matches after every crap, which usually made the bathroom smell like burnt matches and shit -- again, not much of an improvement. When we tried out a bottle of this stuff, it was a significant improvement over matches as the shit odor was almost completely masked and the new eucalyptus scent wasn't overpowering.
We now live in a house with proper ventilated bathrooms, so the old bottle's not needed, but I'd recommend on the spot deodorizing over putting some dodgy "natural" product in your body.

Ryvar and NationalKato, you seem to be making a generalisation from a very small sample. When you've cleaned hundreds of bums, you'll come to appreciate those who eat little red meat.
My grandmother had pills made of crushed charcoal and chlorophyll. An extremely fastidious woman, she took them to reduce her fecal odor. We called her "the lady of the warm winds" behind her back.

Clearly, you aren't located in Germany or the Netherlands. In those countries, I believe regular stool inspections are de rigeur.
I understand that that's the purpose of those little shelves in their lavatory pan. It's basically an inspection shelf. I once read somewhere that they line it with toilet paper prior to taking a dump, in order to cut down on the need for vigorous effort with the toilet brush.
Perhaps that's why all Dutch public toilets have an attendant who wants paying before they'll let you use the place?

Green poo. Uh huh. If you look up green stool as a symptom, you'll find salmonella and giardea. Their claim that this is something new becomes suspect, as the same thing happens from taking chlorophyll tablets, sold for the same purpose.
