Thanksgiving brings together families, friends, and, of course, plenty of food!
For those feeling uncomfortably full after the feast, a viral social media hack dubbed the “fart walk” offers sweet relief.
A fart walk is exactly what it sounds like: a walk outside to relieve gas after eating a large meal.
The term was first used by 70-year-old cookbook author Mairlyn Smith on social media, who would talk about walking after dinner to pass gas, according to a post by UW Medicine .
