Why do I get the taste of hard-boiled eggs when I burp?
———- from Judy B. of Darby, Montana
It’s these little things that make us realize we’re all really just one. Everyone tastes hard-boiled eggs when they burp, since hard-boiled eggs, hot dogs and Chinese food are never really digested. That goes for those Chicken McNuggets, too. They lie in a state of suspended animation, just waiting to see the light of day once more…perhaps to relive the ecstasy they knew the first time down the hatch. This they do each and every time you belch, whether it’s the holiday belching season or not. So if you don’t mind the taste, give those undigestibles the thrill they long for and burp generously, in the privacy of your own home. Don’t be so hard-boiled yourself that you can’t allow such an egg its place in the sun.
