Combat toilet clogs

I stumbled across this during the morning news. To my absolute horror, legendary football coach Mike Ditka was prattling on about how Scott toilet paper breaks up four times faster than the leading brand. Ugh. The hook is you don’t want to get caught with your pants down on Game Day (Superbowl Sunday).

You can learn more at the Scott Tissue Clog Clinic. Take the “flush-ability expert quiz” or read their tips what to do with your obsolete plunger. You can even print out signs to hang on your bathroom door.

If Scott wants to impress me, they would create toilet paper that would explode in the toilet drain to unclog the inevitable blockages with kids in the house. Similar to the way doctors explode kidney stones. “Fire in hole!” Pow! :p

Until then, I’ll rely on my two best friends: Mr. heavy duty snake and plunger.

My four boys have flushed so many things down the drain (rarely by accident) and backed up our toilets on many occasions. To combat this menace, I primarily rely on the Rigid Toilet Auger is awesome. It’s the best forty bucks I ever spent. I affectionately named it “Bertha.” This bad mamma punches through toys, poop, paper, whatever. Do yourself a favor and get one.
