  Combined with wet wipes, it transforms to Fatbergs. I really recommend the chapter about “Notable fatbergs”

    “The most notable Fatberg is Lord Eustace Fatberg IV. Lord Eustace had no hobbies as he was a non-sentient amalgam of human waste, wet wipes and fat lodged in a sewer.”

    Just don’t read about gutter oil afterward or you might immediately have some solids to throw at your plumbing.

    Why are the notable ones all European/Oceanic?

    Also hilarious that the only American one is also the only one that mentions sewage spilling out because of it.

    I thought America was #1. Up your game, USA. Get those fatburgs going!
