It seems Big Ed Brown is copying 90 Day Fiancé co-star Stephanie Matto by selling his farts in a jar. Fans know the infamous cast member from his debut on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 4 in which Big Ed was dating Rosemarie Vega. Former photographer Big Ed had fallen in love with single mother Rose online and traveled to the Philippines to meet her for the first time on the show. By the end of it, Rose had dumped Big Ed, and the couple ended up becoming internet celebrities. While Rose has left reality TV behind to build a better life for herself back home, Big Ed is still milking his fame.
Big Ed is known as one of the biggest clout chasers of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. The criticism that he got for using mayonnaise in his hair or for gifting Rose a toothbrush for her apparent bad breath didn’t affect him at all. He soon returned to TLC on 90 Day: The Single Life, with a new, younger girlfriend. Big Ed is now engaged to Liz Woods, following many ups and downs, and after claiming that he’s changed himself for the best. Fans know that Big Ed is not someone who avoids the limelight, and his cringeworthy Instagram posts guarantee he won’t.
After having recreated the “I like the view” TikTok trend a few hundred times on social media, filming himself eating in Mukbang-style videos, and selling T-shirts with his face on them, Big Ed is now following “fart jar girl” Stephanie Matto’s footsteps. Big Ed posted a teaser clip about how his fart jars are “a personalized message in a bottle” containing his “butt essence.” Big Ed redirected his Instagram followers to his website, where he’s selling these bottles at $29.99 a piece. The product listing offers two kinds of fart jar scents: “Big Ed’s ASSence,” for your enemies, and “Rose scented,” for someone you love, which shows how he’s still trying to make a quick buck by using his ex-girlfriend’s name.
The description for Big Ed’s fart jars explains in detail how it could be a gift for one’s best friend, lover, or enemy, and that “it could be just a prank or an act of war.” The bottle has water beads and a “perfectly nestled toot” with a personal handwritten message by Big Ed written to the recipient on behalf of the buyer, who can get it home-delivered to the person being surprised, by filling in a form. The autographed note from 90 Day Fiancé icon Big Ed is rolled and sealed in a smell-proof baggy. The baggy sits inside the jar among “unactivated water beads before the jar is then either filled with one of Ed’s toots after a delicious bean meal or a therapeutic and loving rose oil scent.”
It seems that the beads grow in size once water is added to the jar, and some of them even glow. But alas, if Stephanie claimed that her jars did contain a whiff of her backside, Big Ed claims that no real farts were created or used to make his jar. As expected, TLC viewers are slamming Big Ed for getting inspired by Stephanie, while some of them don’t want him to land in the hospital like the original fart jar girl did. In the end, it remains to be seen if Big Ed will make himself viral on the world wide web all over again due to his smelly prank or whether he’ll end up receiving more ridicule from 90 Day Fiancé fans.
