How can anybody not like this? This is one of my favourite Acme topics. Love the music, especially in the second segment.

Hi Tyler, There are products that you put in the tank to clean the bowl "every time you flush", but without some physical scrubbing, they're not that effective. David

@viroverfan2010 The plant has been gone for at least ten years. There are condo-type buildings there now. I don't know if they outsourced overseas, but it's a wacky world where you could build a toilet overseas, ship it here and retail it for $100. The energy, the shipping... It probably makes sense to the accountants. David

That is not a reverse trap toilet. The trapway faces the other way.
