Supposedly the reason we refer to these ites as “cakes” traces back to Benjamin Franklin. While experimenting with the Franklin stove he baked a bunch of cookies that he eventually placed beside the outhouse for his guests. Apparently John Hancock accidentally knocked the plate into the urine pot, and presto, the cakes absorbed the smell.

Challenge level impossible: Americans stop treating the founding fathers like a pantheon of mythological figures.

Franklin is just the Americanized Zeus figure.

That’s a good one.

“Nazis were left because they were ‘national socialists!’”

“Have you ever eaten a urinal cake?”
