Those of you with (ahem) digestive issues might want to install a toilet with Quattro flushing technology in your bathroom. Marvel at the promotional video below, in which all sorts of stuff gets flushed down a Quattro toilet: 2.5 pounds of carrots, 4 sets of plastic chess pieces, 3 pounds of gummi bears. 18 large hot dogs and all sorts of other stuff that would render an ordinary toilet non-functional.

I'm not sure it would work, I mean it would flush the stuff from the toilet, but it could very well get stuck in the drainpipes. Especially in apartment buildings, don't you think?

I have had to purchase well over my share of plungers, causing many an awkward social situation throughout my lifetime. I'm not impressed: all these items were small. When a company builds a toilet that can flush [ahem] a large solid object, I'll part ways with my money.
Why don't they do a test with a quarter of a roll of unwrapped toilet tissue (torn into four sheet sections) with each section laying there for 20 seconds before the next is added. That's a toilet test!
