Talking Urinal Cakes Offer Drinking And Driving Advice
Yes, for those who see pink elephants while driving home after a night of drinking. Now you can wonder about that voice you heard at that last potty stop…
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.”
Some Albuquerque bars installed the devices this week.
And the state Transportation Department plans to distribute them to Santa Fe bars and restaurants as well as establishments in Farmington, Gallup and Las Cruces.
The state spent $21 for each talking urinal cake for the pilot program but will ask bars and restaurants to pay for future orders if the idea catches on.
The cakes have enough battery power to last about three months.
Hmmm, wonder who get’s the job of changing the batteries? Ya know, they should have these in spanish and a little button so you can choose which language. Better yet, why don’t they have english lessons so the illegals can learn a little of that since they aren’t learning it in the schools over here. Kind of a “learn as you go” program. I noticed that there wasn’t any of this for women.
I think a message in spanish that says “Go the Hell Back To MEXICO” would be a great idea!
