If two people ate the exact same thing, would their farts smell the same?
This is not a riddle. :)
What components determine the aroma of a fart? It has to be more than just diet.

I think the smell would be similar but not exactly the same.
Nah. Every fart is different. Like our own personal aromatic signature. Sort of a fartprint if you like :¬)
Each person’s own chemistry and internal fauna would play a part. The smell would be unique.
Just like I always said “My farts don’t smell”.
my wife and I fart the same
It is possible but they would have to have the same bacterial makeup for digestion.
That could be accomplished with the same diet as @woodcutter.
No. I distinctly remember reading somewhere, probably national geographic many years ago, that people from the same tribe in Africa could tell who a pile of dung belonged to when they came upon it on a hunting trail, because each member of the tribe’s dung smelled differently even though they had similar diets. Maybe thats too much info, but seems salient and valid.
