Did you know that toilets get Tweeted about on Twitter nearly 750 times weekly?

I have bad dreams about this sort of thing, but the “Tell Us Your Best Toilet Story” contest from American Standard is the chance to win the best toilet for the best toilet story. Simply submit a paragraph or two about a memorable toilet experience on this Facebook Fan Page between September 9 and October 9, and members of the page will vote for their favorites through October 12. The grand prize of a Champion 4 toilet, complete with installation and the Champion 4 Slow Close toilet seat will be awarded to the story that receives the highest number of “thumbs up” from readers. Four additional top vote-getters will be awarded a free Champion® 4 Toilet with Champion 4 Slow Close toilet seat.

“Everyone uses toilets, so nearly everyone has a toilet story,” said Jeannette Long, American Standard general manager of e-business. “Tell people you work for a plumbing company, and you hear them all: the one about the overflow during the big party or the one about what the kids have tried to flush.

“We figured the best story deserved the best toilet.”

Members will vote for the story they are most likely to repeat to friends and family. There is no purchase necessary to enter or to join the voting. If not a Facebook account holder, there is no fee or charge to become a registered Facebook member. Contest rules are available on American Standard’s website.
