Poop used to be such an awkward topic. Not so much today. We don’t even feel uncomfortable using the word poop in a story and we’re willing to share that we’re sorta seriously considering buying a poop helper, like this Squatty Potty, for a family member this Christmas. It’s a stool (pun not intended, honest), which helps a person squat when doing that thing we all do on the loo. It’s meant to help the contents of your bowels travel to its final destination in smooth and quick fashion (just like the old days before modern-day toilets were invented and natural squatting was no longer an option).

If you’re not convinced yet, then take a look at the commercial for the potty below. If it looks terribly familiar, that’s probably because you’ve seen the PooPourri ad by the same guys behind Squatty Potty. The Harmon Brothers created this spot with an equal amount of sarcasm and oddity. But this time, they cast a nobleman, unicorn and a pack of peasant children to demonstrate the benefits of squatting while on the pot.
