minus-squaresnek_boi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 days agoOh. Shoot. I’ve bought those in the past. So they’re lying about being flushable, I suppose.
minus-squarechuckleslord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 days agoNo, they’re definitely flushable. Just like my new product, flushable golf balls! Put them in your toilet, hit the plunger, and watch them disappear down the drain. Totally flushable!
