"Well it was more than a great idea, an iphone application that leads you by your GPS to the nearest acceptable toilet wherever you are in the world..." - Seinfeld
It was a funny joke for the Seinfeld reunion show, to have George Costanza, the guy that can never catch a break, invent an app about one of his favorite things in the world, public toilets, make millions of dollars on it, and then lose it all in a ponzi scheme. That story might not sound familiar to most of you guys, probably because most people don't realize that Seinfeld ever did a reunion show. It's actually pretty funny! Check it out HERE:
The ironic thing, is that very app that was only meant for a good laugh, is actually real! Charmin made an app called "Sit or Squat" that does exactly as George's app did: it has a database of which toilets are good enough to sit on, and which ones you should probably avoid skin contact at all cost.
Don't believe me check it out here:
Anyone in the world can get the app and start rating the local toilets near them, and with everyone's help, we can make this world a better place, one toilet at a time.
What do you think? Do you think this was a good marketing campaign for Charmin? Leave a comment below.
