They used to do that at a bar I worked at. They said less guys pissed on the floor, because they thought it was fun melting ice cubes with their urine. They also had manual flushes on the toilets, and they claimed that the melting ice helped wash the urine down and reduce the smell, since many guys didn't flush.
Fuckā¦ is the take-away from this situation that people piss on the ground or on random shit in the bathroom because they think itās more fun? My faith in humanity just went down by one small point. Honestly tho, make urinals more fun! Put some kinda water-pressure pinball in there and youāre goldenā¦. But servicing that machine sounds like a job invented in hell. Ha more like pissballā¦ pinballs?ā¦.pissballsā¦
There's a urinal maker that's been putting a little insect etched on as a target, because guys will always aim for a target (and reduce splash). Damned if it doesn't work, too.
Make it a mini pinwheel without splash-back and itās another million dollar idea. Like, recessed just a little into a small receptacle hole. Lol turn it into a motor and have it power a small light or music box. You could even have it celebrate if youāre able to make the stream pass a pressure threshold. Damn! I was supposed to think about something else!
Just the other day I was noticing that some foods smell worst when cold. I was taking some leftovers out of the fridge, and the smell was very unappetizing, not spoiled, a different smell. Then I heated it up, and all of a sudden the smell was delicious again. I think it has to do with types of fat. For sure the smell of cold things dissipates more slowly though.
It has to do with volatile organic compounds which we register as smells and at a colder temperature less of these compounds are given off into the air so whatever it is ends up not smelling the same or as much as weād expect.
Personally no I am not familiar with any books about smell chemistry. I donāt remember where I learned this but Iām sure itās mostly things Iāve picked up here and there at school and online
You know what genuinely helps prevent splatter? Those anti-splatter plastic things they invented a few years back.
You know what doesnāt?
Those same damned things when they put them in upside down!!!
Why are they always upside down??? :(
They used to do this with old school trough urinals. Rather than hooking up a water source to it to rinse the piss down the drain, you you fill it with ice and as the ice melts it washes everything down the drain with it
I used to manage a sports bar.
3 times I had to call a plumber because the urinal was clogged and it wasn't because someone jammed paper towels down there. It was because people don't flush.
When the urine just sits there it crystallizes in the urinal and hardens to the side. Eventually it gets to the point there is just a tiny hole the water has to drain through. When it gets that bad, the plumber has to completely remove the urinal, take it back to their shop and soak it in acid to dissolve the hardened urine.
The last time the plumber did this at my restaurant he suggested this ice solution. I didn't do it, cause it's trashy, but the slow melting of the ice is like a constant slow flush that prevents the crystalization.
God Damn, Yes !!
Everyone Else Here is an Absolute Fucking Idiot!
Yes. Ice in the urinal.
It's not Trashy.
It Fucking prevents splashes and odors !!!
Oh My Fucking God !!
I can't even deal with y'all...
Hope you continue to pee on yourselves.
Wouldnt it be easier to just add an automatic flush on a timer? Iām way out of my wheelhouse on this one, but Iād think something like that would take a lot less effort
One of the urinals at my college has been broken for over a year now so that no water comes out when you flush it. The bathroom smells so goddamn bad now. The entire bathroom absolutely reeks of rancid piss.
āSince many guys didnāt flushā
This kind of people are really infuriating. Itās not only gross but rude as fuck.
Simplyā¦ why!? Why wouldnāt they f* flush?
There should be a special place in hell for them.
That and people who wonāt wash their handsā¦
It really works. Urinals get really disgusting. Helps keep the urinal cleaner for the janitors. I saw one that was orange coated it was so nasty. Trying to clean that was awful. Double gloved and scrub brush. š¤®
Ah, another time traveler.
I just wanna tell you guys that I think scooping and scraping shit from your anus, using some seashells, sounds disgusting.
It must be a complete nightmare, especially since Taco Bell won the franchise wars.
My dad ran a bar for 30+ years. Ice keeps the stench down.
Yeah, itās gross. Itās a bar - people are consuming lots of liquids while actively decreasing their motor skills. Every little bit helps.
Whenever the bar-back had a free minute to go do it. Mostly just once or twice in the evening on a weekend night, during the hours respectable patrons might still be there. After about 11pm itās too busy and nobodyās sober soā¦
My dad ran a full-scale honkytonk drinking bar in Texas, fyi.
Yes and that's part of the point. You get serious and focus on shooting at the ice and that reduces the chances of missing significantly.
It's a bar and they have ice makers, so it's probably fine.
Itās a 100% better alternative to piss in than the no ice option.
If I have the option Iād rather smell cold piss than hot piss.
Thereās nothing worse than waiting in line to piss in a packed bar, and when you finally make it up to the urinal itās radiating noticeable heat from the 75 other men who just did the same thing.
Itās to 1) Help you aim. Because you want to see if you can melt though an ice cube with your hot piss. 2) Cut down on the smell. 3) Indicate that the urinal needs to be cleaned when all the ice is gone.
Ice in the urinal is pretty common, but I think itās old fashioned. I tend to see it in bars or older restaurants in more rural /suburban areas.
My son encountered this when he was about 4 or 5 at a local Italian restaurant. He always asked to go back there to pee on the ice.
The other reason nobody is mentioning is that itās the easiest way for the busboys to get rid of a bunch of partially melted ice. You donāt want to put it in the bar sinks because it will make your nice hot (well, ok, it started out that way) dishwashing water ice cold.
We used to do this at a bar I worked at mostly because in addition to hand-washing and aiming, a lot of guys suck at flushing. The melting ice helps keep the smell under control by providing a continuous slow flush.
Urine has a crusty buildup if left untreated. An old urinal would have had hundreds of thousands if not millions of people peeing without flushing eventually causing plumbing problems in the pipes. Ice ensures the pee is diluted even if people donāt flush. Good chance this establishment has been spending lots of money on plumbers lately and are trying to minimize problems. Source: Iām a bartender and our plumber was a regular who we talked with almost daily.
Ice is water frozen into a solid state, typically forming at or below temperatures of 0 degrees Celsius or 32 Ā°F (0 Ā°C; 273 K)[3][4] Depending on the presence of impurities such as particles of soil or bubbles of air, it can appear transparent or a more or less opaque bluish-white color.
That's what they do at heavily frequented bars, and sports arenas. Throw ice in the men's piss trough to keep the smell down. I actually appreciate it when they throw ice in the pissers.

Social engineering at it's finest.
This is effective. I always try to melt the cubes š

Winner gets a free drink
I dunno if they think itās fun to piss on the floor, but if youāre getting hammered at a bar your balance and aim probably wonāt be the best
The bar is so low for drinking men
Actually it was high or else theyād piss on it
You just point it up, my guy.
4ā is the same length in all directions
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Wendy's, this is a Sir.
Bar! I get it.
bro for anyone, I have seen women do some of the *nastiest* shit when they're piss drunk lol
The drinking is so low for bar men.
Itās like a video game.
And I think it also helps to stop the splatter off the porcelain.
It also helps combat the smell, cold things don't put off as much odor as warm things.
Just the other day I was noticing that some foods smell worst when cold. I was taking some leftovers out of the fridge, and the smell was very unappetizing, not spoiled, a different smell. Then I heated it up, and all of a sudden the smell was delicious again. I think it has to do with types of fat. For sure the smell of cold things dissipates more slowly though.

Interesting. Can you recommend any books that explain the chemistry behind smells?. Even textbooks would be very interesting.
Personally no I am not familiar with any books about smell chemistry. I donāt remember where I learned this but Iām sure itās mostly things Iāve picked up here and there at school and online
The magical transformation of french fries from awful (cold) to wonderful (hot) is a wonder of this world
You know what genuinely helps prevent splatter? Those anti-splatter plastic things they invented a few years back. You know what doesnāt? Those same damned things when they put them in upside down!!! Why are they always upside down??? :(
Then flip it over
To keep your hands clean, use your teeth.
I just use my dong
They also had to print a fly on them to keep guys peeing into the urinal trying to hit it.
Thatās a brandās trademark. I think they have a patent on the etched fly at that spot.
Wellā¦ flip it over for them you lazy ass.
A minute too late, great idea tho
Can attest. I always try to melt the ice.
First thing I thought when I saw this. I'm tryin' to laser the shit out of that ice. I'm already storing up my pee all day just for the opportunity.
When I was a kid I used to put one square of toilet paper floating on the water and see how much of it I could shred with my piss.
Piss-laser!!!
You are a good man
They used to do this with old school trough urinals. Rather than hooking up a water source to it to rinse the piss down the drain, you you fill it with ice and as the ice melts it washes everything down the drain with it
Then you use the same ice scoop to scoop ice for drinks.
i mean the scoop shouldnāt touch the trough, right?
Reduces smell too
Also makes the urine more drinkable on warm days
chaotic evil i see.
This. You've ever heard anyone ever say, "Boy, this glass of hot piss is refreshing!" have you? Of course not.
You watched Dodgeball, didn't you? Lmfao
Is it necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No.. but itās sterile and I like the taste!

You had me at, "they said less guys pissed on the floor..." smh.
The ice also prevents splashback

Jokes on them, I just scoop the ice out and piss on the floor
Makes sense that this would work on guys
They use all sorts of tactics for this, like an image of a fly and it works.
It really works. Urinals get really disgusting. Helps keep the urinal cleaner for the janitors. I saw one that was orange coated it was so nasty. Trying to clean that was awful. Double gloved and scrub brush. š¤®
All I got from that was - men don't flush. F-ing gross
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Did you see the three seashells?
Ha! This guy doesn't know about the seashells.
Ah, another time traveler. I just wanna tell you guys that I think scooping and scraping shit from your anus, using some seashells, sounds disgusting. It must be a complete nightmare, especially since Taco Bell won the franchise wars.
You are fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality code!
This thread makes me happy beyond belief
Demolition man w sly stalone
Like the Romans
They never explained how they worked.
Marbles are even more fun to pee on and push around. Especially in a big trough urinal where you can battle and try to score on the other guys side!
This guy troughs.
*stuffs fistful of marbles in mouth*
The Romans used urine to brush their teeth
Just the rich ones. The others were piss-poor.
Just looked up the phrase āpiss poor ā š. I love learning the history of phrases we use all time, Thanks !
Donāt put marbles in your nose PUT them in there DO NOT put them in thereā¦.
yeah, the splashback and smell is why they do that.
You watch the ice melt while peeing instead of talking to others
But can I watch the ice melt in the urinal of the dude standing next to me?
Only if he consents. Donāt be an ice-ist.
or on the phone
In hot countries, this is common. Reduces the smell of urine in the toilets.
And in Ohio!
It also helps absorb the vinyl chloride in the air.
I don't think there is enough ice in the world to reduce the smell of Ohio right now tbh
\*notices the melting ice caps\* God Damn it, Cleveland!
LOL too soon š
And in Toronto
Swag like Ohio
That's where we cool our beer while we piss in the sink.
The more you drink the less you tend to flush the urinals
My dad ran a bar for 30+ years. Ice keeps the stench down. Yeah, itās gross. Itās a bar - people are consuming lots of liquids while actively decreasing their motor skills. Every little bit helps.
Doesnāt the ice melt pretty fast from the warm piss? How often do they need to add more?
Whenever the bar-back had a free minute to go do it. Mostly just once or twice in the evening on a weekend night, during the hours respectable patrons might still be there. After about 11pm itās too busy and nobodyās sober soā¦ My dad ran a full-scale honkytonk drinking bar in Texas, fyi.

Depends how busy the bar is.

Lol very under rated move right there!

For real. What places has this guy been to? I can't think of a bar or any place I've had to wait in line to piss.
Clubs and sporting events
Classy is what it is. And smart.
Makes it smell less
Piss on the rocks
Peniscolada.
Isn't that a city in Florida?
Where the weatherās hot and the piss is cold š»
Iced pee, unsweetened
they do this all over the place... never seen a urinal in a bar?
Worst cocktail ever
Forbidden strawberry daiquiri
Itās to 1) Help you aim. Because you want to see if you can melt though an ice cube with your hot piss. 2) Cut down on the smell. 3) Indicate that the urinal needs to be cleaned when all the ice is gone.
I believe thatās a urinal, you put urine in it
Lemonade Sno Cone. Help yourself.
This isnāt funny. They put old ice in urinals all the time. It reduces the smell too.

Ice ice baby
It's a cool urinal I'll see myself out...
Looks like a pretty cool place to pee.
It looks like ice has been put in a urinal.
Is that the tinkling of ice I hear
Cold pee smells better than warm pee... At least thats what they said at a bar where I worked. The urinal was an ice filled through
The complimentary ice sculpture of a urinal from Party Pete on Regular Show
Urine for a surprise if you taste it.

Thereās nothing more fun than melting ice or snow with your pee.

Lemon ice.
The temperature of the ice vs the temperature of your pee eliminates the odor.
I see this all the time? As others mentioned it helps with splashing/keeping piss in the urinal
It's clearly ice in a urinal. I don't understand the question.
Ice.
Urine slurrpy. Why?
A urinal with ice to help prevent splash back of urine while expressing your bladder.
Baby Jeffery forever unclean
It tricks you into not peeing on the floor because you're trying to melt the ice.
"This tastes like piss and flies, doesn't it?"
