How to Celebrate National Pass Gas Day

2

Host a party

Invite some friends over and plan a game night with games like 'Pass the Gas' and 'Who Can Pass the Most Gas?'. You can also create your own activities like having a farting contest, who can blow out the most candles with their farts.

3

Eat foods that cause gas

Celebrating National Pass Gas Day doesn’t have to be all about pranks, it can also be about eating some of your favorite foods that cause gas like broccoli, beans, and cauliflower. Try to eat as much as you can and see who can hold in the most air.

4

Go for a walk

Sometimes the best way to celebrate National Pass Gas Day is to go for a walk or run outside. Not only will you get some exercise but you'll also get to enjoy the fresh air while releasing some of that built up gas.

5

Listen to fart music

If you're feeling particularly festive, why not listen to some good old fashioned fart music? There are plenty of albums available online that feature flatulence sounds as musical instruments, so put them on and get ready to rock out!

Passing Gas is Normal & Natural

At the end of the day, passing gas is a completely normal and natural bodily function that everyone experiences. Instead of trying to hide or stifle these unavoidable emissions, National Pass Gas Day gives us an opportunity to celebrate and embrace them in all their smelly glory!
