Sometimes your toilet bowl isn't as clean as you'd like it to be. But you have guests due to arrive any minute! What to do? Grab a handful of poo-pourri and sprinkle it in the loo. I suppose it would be scented with floral, pine and citrus flavours (though why these are the most popular I dont know - we could get more creative) and would float in the bowl, obscuring any unsightly streak-marks or yellow water stains. It would have to be re-sprinkled after a flush of course. But how to keep it from getting soggy and sinking?

Yech. Just clean your toilet.

You'd have to make it water-repellant and lightweight, neither one out of the question. Mold the material into fake rose petals or lotus blossoms and you've got a winner.

Why not use actual rose petals (dried or fresh)? They'll float, for a while at least.

Interestingly, "potpourri" is French for "rotten pot," which seems to be an apt description of the smell you're trying to cover up.

I can't figure out why it doesn't surprise me that waugsy turns out to be a potpourri type of guy.
