Why does Sugar smacks Cereal, make your pee smell like Sugar Smacks?

Post by deleted-941623 »

There is a certain cereal called Sugar Smacks (sugar puffs in the UK) that will make your pee smell just like the cereal a couple of hours after eating it. I have done some research and cannot find the exact reason for this. We know that asparagus also makes your pee smell, do these foods contain the same ingredient? Or what is the ingredient in sugar smacks that makes your pee smell?
