Talk:Urinal deodorizer block

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I gotta give Wiki kudos for this entry. This is the genious of Wiki and I doubt that Britannica et al would bother with something as mundane as urinal cakes.

I brought home mathballs instead of urinal cakes and I told my wife they were the same thing. She doubted me and I began to doubt myself so I turned to Wiki. It's a small thing but matters to us.

Great job guys.--Calan 12:58, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

wow..never ever thought I'd read an article on those things, this wikipedia thing is amazing, now somehow make this the article of the day...

A urinal cake is the subject of the parody folk song "The Ballad of Eddie Praeger" by Paul and Storm. --FOo 23:37, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disinfectant?

Is it? From what I read in the article, it seems not. J.P.Lon 00:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "trough lolly"???

I'm British, and I've never heard this term used.. --Tomhannen 09:50, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Ditto, and ditto. Given this Google search it doesn't seem to be remotely widespread in Britain. I'm removing the phrase in the absence of any reliable source (Urban Dictionary doesn't count!) backing it up. Loganberry (Talk) 22:48, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

In Australia, I've heard "trough lolly" used more than the "toilet lolly" that is listed as the Australian version - but it may be regionally dependent. Shiftyphil 23:59, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

On the TV series "Fraiser" last night Niles was in process of his divorce, the wife was dragging it out and causing him to pay lots of extra lawyer fees and making accusations to give her advantage over the assets, then Niles hired a new lawyer (Donnie) and he discovered some "dirt" on the wife--she got all her riches not from inheritance but from sales of urinal cakes. This gave them the leverage they needed to win the case. being a single woman I had no idea what they were referring to. I turned to Wikapedia, sure enough, there was my answer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pntippett (talk • contribs) 19:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
