Ah good ol’ capitalism creating sewer system heart attacks ‘round the world.

It doesn’t matter what the package says; wipes aren’t “flushable.” They want you to buy their product and will say whatever they think will get your money.

The thumbnail kinda looks like a nug of weed. You probably wouldn't want to smoke that.

A fatberg is a rock-like mass of waste matter in a sewer system formed by the combination of flushed non-biodegradable solids (such as wet wipes) with fat, oil, and grease (FOG) deposits.

I imagine the clumping cat litter is pretty bad, too.
