Why do my burps taste good?

Even hours later, my belchs taste just like what I ate, instead of like vomit. Why is this? It seems that by now it should be mostly digested, and I’m pretty sure that if I were to throw up, it wouldn’t smell very good.

BTW, search doesn’t seem to be working right now. Sorry if this has been discussed before.

Oh, come on! Nobody? (bump)

I think the problem is that we’ve only heard anecdotal evidence and unsubstantiated claims that your burps taste good.

Do you have a cite?

If you burp a few hours after eating, what does it taste like?

My burps taste good.

I’ve never wondered why, before.

And now I do.

You know what they say, why fart and waste it when you can burp and taste it.

But here’s the eternal question… why does ear wax smell so interesting?

You’re completely vile. Why did I laugh at that?
