I am often diagusted with the things people throw in the toilet. Tampons, condoms, menstrual pads, baby diapers, colostomy bag seals, underwear…
Walk into a public access bathroom and the filth is just waiting to be witnessed. And the bigger the venue, the higher the chance.
Aren’t people aware of what they are doing? The clogs they build in the pipes? Because if they do this outside, then have to do it at home.
p.s
I feel the need to add a clarification of what the three P’s are, being:
- pee
- poo
- paper (toilet)
This list is being slowly added to, in real time, and more P’s are entering it. Namely:
- puke
- period
- pilosity
I’ll update this as I stumble into new P’s but I doubt the original mnemonic will recognize updates.
I don’t know where you are talking from but in my country that falls under false advertising and is punishable with hefty fines, especially because cloggings of sewer systems by such products are charged to the origin, which is becoming easier to do. The dumbest person on the land would start thinking if they got charged for a sewer clean-up more than once.
Good ole U S of A. State to state can vary a bit but it’s unlikely any states have the ability to go after the manufacturer. They are likely headquartered in a very “business friendly” state.
Knowing the US we probably have some bullshit legalese that defines “flushable” as “able to be flushed, but not held responsible for clogging.”
We do so much to allow corporations to get away with whatever they want while appearing to make laws for people… Food laws are similar. Can’t name synthetic chocolate as chocolate, but you can call your product chocolatey… How does a consumer actually know what that means?
