Talking Urinal Cakes

Quote:

SANTA FE -- New Mexico has taken its fight against drunken driving to men's restrooms around the state.

The state has ordered 500 talking urinal cakes that will deliver a recorded anti-DWI message to bar and restaurant patrons who make one last pit stop before getting behind the wheel.

The top of the devices feature the state DWI slogan -- "You drink, you drive, you lose."
Imagine some incredibly drunk dude SCREAMING into the urinal "YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!!!!!", just before doing a header into his own leftover...

LOL!!!!!!

DreadPirateRoberts 02-12-2007 11:11 PM

Think they have one that says "Don't eat me" ?

Alex 02-12-2007 11:35 PM

Talking, even if it is pre-recorded restroom accessories, violates everything that is sacred about the men's room.

Disneyphile 02-12-2007 11:55 PM

I want to plant ones that laugh or say, "Oh my gosh! It's so small!" :evil:

And I want a hidden camera to catch the facial expressions. :evil:

I hate that they call it a cake. What if it said in an angry voice, "Hey! We're working down here!"

€uroMeinke 02-13-2007 08:15 AM

I'm reminded of the opening of Flicks Fun Fair, in which the bathroom had recorded voices of the various bugs talking to you. Oddly, that feature didn't last very long.

Alex 02-13-2007 08:23 AM

The restrooms at Buca di Beppo have audio tracks.

It is the worst thing about the restaurant (which is saying a lot since they are nothing but a respository of bad memories for me).

innerSpaceman 02-13-2007 09:27 AM

During the premiere run of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, there were police radio calls furthering the plot played in the restrooms during intermission! It reportedly freaked people out.



Too bad about Flik's Fun Faire. I haven't been there in ages, and I hadn't realized they removed the best feature.

RStar 02-13-2007 03:01 PM

I was at Knott's about 10 years ago and the restroom behind the steak house had recordings that played funny things when hit with urine. Like playing "Whipe Out" !

scaeagles 02-13-2007 03:22 PM

I first read the title to this thread as "taking urinal cakes". I was trying to figure out why anyone would want to take urinal cakes. (wow - my first quick hit post from the new yet 6 month old job).

Watch your step, I hear that slope's pretty slippery.

scaeagles 02-13-2007 03:46 PM

You mean once you take one urinal cake you can't stop, or the posting from work thing?

yes

mousepod 02-13-2007 03:48 PM

Your second post speaks for itself.

Kind of like a urinal cake.

RStar 02-13-2007 03:54 PM

Oh, and at work we call then "Urinal Candies". Ours are Strawberry flavored.

Note to self: Use better judgement when deciding whether a thread really will be as icky as its title.


:p

Hehe - your first post from work and you choose the urinal cake one. Interesting.

Disneyphile 02-13-2007 05:10 PM

I've always wanted to make custom urinal cakes by printing the desired image/phrase on dissolvable paper. Imagine peeing on George Bush or your mother-in-law. :evil:

Exactly!!! :D

I was thinking about buying some cakes at Smart & Final, and then offering to customize them on eBay for $5 each. They'd be a great gag gift.

Hey, great idea! Wish I had thought about that about 2 years ago!

I want to know if those the OP posted about can measure the alcohol level and make bells and sirens go off to alert everyone (including the police) in the place that you are loaded before you get behind the wheel?

€uroMeinke 02-13-2007 11:30 PM

Hmmm - indeed, going back to the OP, isn't the indicator of drunkeness missing the urinal cake altogether - perhaps what's really needed is alarming pants

Apparently, this guy already thought about that. However, his are for times when you really need to make sure that you wake up in the morning.

Heheh, two posts too late, apparently. :iSm:

Why stop there? Why, with technology these days, those urinal cakes should tell us how many calories we consume, what our cholesterol levels are, and how long we have left to live.

thecorndogwalker 02-14-2007 10:21 AM

Urinal cake says, "magnification, magnification, magnification.......

I saw something like this in a movie about the future. What was it? Minority Report? Or was it the TV show Eurika?

Alex 02-14-2007 10:45 AM

They've invented toilets in Japan that analyze your urine and provide health information.

Tref 02-15-2007 02:24 PM

Before China takes the lead!
 
How about a urinal cake that says, Please, sir, do not pee on me. I implore you gentle soul and kind heart! No!

What about it science?

mousepod 02-15-2007 02:44 PM

I think I'd like to have a urinal cake that plays Regan from the Exorcist screaming "It burns! It burns!"

Coin-cidentally, that is not an entirely uncommon phrase for a urinal cake to hear.*

I don't remember seeing this on Eureka (which we love!), so it must have been Minority Report (which we didn't see).

That futristic bathroom in the Sheriff's house could have something like that, but I think you're right- I didn't see it there. But we love that show too!! It will be back this summer! Yes!!!!
