Once on Reddit I read of someone who grew up in a house where they had a poop knife as part of their standard toilet tool set.
This person once found themselves asking for a poop knife elsewhere, casually, like anyone would ask for toilet paper.
I think a commenter called it "the Mashitty" in the replies, which I found hilarious. That story and comment will forever be remembered.
Hell yea the poop knife. His family had one because their shits would block toilets. He thought it was a normal thing to require and have a poop knife but after going to a friend's house and asking for it, he discovered that it was indeed (Samuel L. Jackson voice) not a normal thing to possess.
This one never struck me as real enough to be exciting. Felt too obviously made up.
It's a real thing. (At least it says so on the packaging.)
It's a real thing in the sense that someone ran with the hype, but I don't think the original story was true, myself.
