A New Invention Called The Squatty Potty

"The stool for better stools."

A New Invention Called The Squatty Potty
Squatty Potty

There is a new invention sweeping the nation called the Squatty Potty. The Squatty Potty is a stool that is designed to help your bowel movement go more smoothly by putting your legs at an angle. According to makers of the Squatty Potty, the squat position is more effective for humans to defecate, thus the reasons they designed the stool. I first heard of the Squatty Potty while watching the talk show Dr. Oz a few years ago, however, more recently their marketing team has released a hilarious and honest ad that I cannot stop watching. Their marketing has cut the sh*t out of describing the use of the Squatty Potty, for there is not really a polite way to sell their product.

One common slogan they use is “The stool for better stools”, which quite accurately describes the Squatty Potty. Not only do they say this in their ad, but they also use a unicorn that poops rainbow ice cream to demonstrate the process. The ad lasts about three minutes, and a prince describes Squatty Potty’s intentions all while the unicorn produces ice cream. The prince claims that sitting in a normal position while pooping can cause hemorrhoids, bloating, constipation, and “a buttload of other crap”, then proceeds to say that unicorn hermorraids glitter to get in the rainbow ice cream. The prince goes on about the Squatty Potty for quite some time, even to the point to where you think it is almost over he cracks another joke.

The Squatty Potty marketing team made a bold move with this strategy. Towards the end of their ad the prince pokes fun at the fact that they just used ice cream to simulate fecal matter by saying “pooping will never be the same… And neither will ice cream”. The website is not much different in its honest yet silly nature. The website also features other products they offer, such as 4 different models of Squatty Potties to go with your bathroom style. They also offer a product called the Refresh-It Bidet which turns your normal boring toilet into a classy way to clean your tush. According to the Squatty Potty website, it is environmentally friendly and easy to install. Other products include natural laxatives and spray that you use to eliminate the odor from going.

With the holidays approaching quickly, you may want to consider purchasing this for a friend, I recommend a close one. Or if you would like to treat yourself and swag out your bathroom, this is the perfect way to! Go to squattypotty.com for more information.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
