Why Do Humans Get the 'Butt Fart'?

A butt fart is when a big chunk of gas comes out all at once from the back. Imagine you're blowing up a balloon, if it pops, that's like a butt fart! It happens because your tummy has tiny helpers called bacteria who eat your food and make gas. When they get busy, they send a big burst of air out through your back.
