#1 It is worse having a clogged toilet

We've all been there before: there's nothing worse than having a clogged toilet that's threatening to ruin a perfectly good day. As you stare at the rising water, several worst-case scenarios flash before your eyes.

#2 South Korea to come up with a brilliant new solution to this age-old problem.

As wads of toilet paper and disgusting brown water fill up the toilet, this guy forgets about the trusty plunger and uses the "Pongtu" instead.

Pongtu is a piece of yellow plastic that stretches to fit over the top of the toilet seat, forming a seal over the opening. It's like a toilet plastic wrap. Then, you flush. Sounds crazy, right?!

#3 Using science to create a vacuum works as an even more efficient plunger!

The Pongtu swells up and it looks like the toilet might burst, sending a nasty, volcanic mess. But fear not! You push your hand down on top of the Pongtu, and just like that, the clog is cleared away.
