The video explores why asparagus makes urine smell, garlic causes bad breath, and orange juice tastes unpleasant after brushing teeth. Asparagus contains methyl mercaptan, which is released during digestion, causing a strong odor. Garlic's allicin is not easily metabolized, leading to persistent bad breath. Toothpaste disrupts taste perception, making orange juice taste bitter.
