A drainage pipe company surveyed plumbers, and asked them to reveal the strangest things that they've caught being flushed down the toilet. And here are some of the best responses:
Â
1. Legos
Â
2. Rubber ducks . . . Some of these MIGHT be blamed on KIDS.
Â
3. Socks
Â
4. Sex toys
Â
5. Teeth.. They didn't specify whether these are REAL or FAKE.
Â
6. Turkey bones and Brussels sprouts, I'm sure the Brussels sprouts were ACCIDENTALLY dropped in.
Â
7. Bananas
Â
8. A pipe stuck inside another pipe
Â
9. A "two-man tent and sleeping bag" It's probably safe to assume that this didn't make it too far before the plumber had to come out and clear it.
Â
Â
One plumber said, "I've seen all sorts of weird and wonderful things blocking pipes. Everything from chopsticks to a lettuce.Â
Â
Â
"[But] it's really important to think twice before flushing something, because it can cause long-term damage to plumbing systems."
