never-clog-drain

Listen, people, what you pour down your drain is your own business. But when you come to my house and wash down like fifteen pounds of hair and a pipe cleaner (you know who you are) then you’re on my S-list. Thankfully, there’s this thing.

The trick is that this thing has a turnable wiper that pushes goop out of the pipe and lets you grab wedding rings, bullet shells, and other precious items by pushing them out of the trap and up into the main pipe where you can grab them with a hook or your long, sticky proboscis.

It’s made of plastic, which could break eventually, but unless you’re manufacturing meth you’re probably not running much through the drain on a daily basis.

Put some of the powder on my lips, Bill.
