SURE, IT'S PRETTY ... BUT WILL IT FLUSH 29 GOLF BALLS?
First, there was David Letterman with "Will It Float?" And then BlendTec with "Will It Blend?"
Now, I am informed of the latest and greatest entry into the "Will It ...?" world ... and finally one that has personal meaning to all of us ...
"Will It Flush 29 Golf Balls?"
Yes, manufacturers of toilets now often "rate" the flushing capacity of their porcelain best with how many golf balls they can handle with just one flush.
A couple of years ago, my company invested in a couple of toilets that supposedly could flush 15 golf balls. We have never put them to that literal test though I am sure we have given them a run for their money a time or two. The thing that really surprised us was that these toilets, despite their amazing capabilities, are still rather low volume when it comes to water. In fact, when they are in their "resting" mode between flushes, there is very little water visible in the bowl at all.
And 15 golf ball capacity has served us well.
But now I hear that one manufacturer is touting 29 golf ball capacity.
And, for the first time in my life, I am flush with flush envy.
