I have found that eating Heluva Good’s french onion dip gives me some unbelievably wicked flatulence (both in odor and volume). I can’t imagine they actively market this product if it produces similar results in everyone. What key enzymes must I be missing that this is the result?
Is there any chance you’re lactose intolerant? Otherwise, onions are a pretty common and wicked source of flatulence.
Well that’s a hell of an accusation to make. FYI, some of my best friends are lactose.
Ha. Ok, no, seriously. No. Dairy has never been a problem for me. I can sometimes get the farts from french onion soup, or other onion dips. But this particular dip brings onion farts to a whole new level!

At times when running late we use a spaghetti sauce mix rather than make our own. We’re partial to Prego. However, one day at Costco they were out of Prego so we bought Classico.
The first time it happened I didn’t make the connection, but I suspected. The second time I knew it. Classico gives me the weirdest psychedelic dreams - lights, sounds, taste, the lot. On top of that, farts before bed are insidiously pungent and potentially home-wrecking.
Of course, proper scientific experimentation requires a followup, just to be sure it wasn’t a bad batch from the company, or an unknown factor.
Month later, a different jar from a different store produced the same results.
Wicked!

Thanks for the tip. My wife is so gonna pay.
Do the Heluva people maybe use *toasted *dehydrated onions? I learned that that’s the secret magic fart ingredient for me, although it is extremely tasty. It’s what makes french onion soup so good.
I learned this, by the way, several years ago, after I ordered some Californian Toasted Onions from Penzeys and started using it in all my cooking. Oopsie.
I am both slightly lactose intolerant and onions give me gas
/me tries to hid the container of onion dip
/me hopes mrAru wont notice the stench …
Whenever I make something with that dry french onion soup mix, that generates my most vile batch of methane. I think the toasted onion theory is it.
Three things guarenteed to get me clearing rooms - Dairy, cooked onions, and MSG. That has all three. Ewww!
