Even bathroom materials have names...


Last weekend, I went out to dinner with Dave, his good friend Pete (nickname, Gator) and Pete's brother Blaine... to a restaurant called Casablanca. It is a Moroccan-themed experience, complete with 7 courses and belly dancers. So cool!!!!

After dinner, we continued on to the Franklin Institute, to see the very interesting exhibit BodyWorlds, and before entering the gallery, I decided to take a quick pit stop.
And it was during this pit stop that I was rather amused to find that the "solid plastic toilet partitions" in the ladies room there were called "Hiny Hiders." What a funny little name for something that you'd never imagine would have a name at all... other than, perhaps, a "solid plastic toilet partition." Their logo is quite funny too... it is the letter "H" which is serving as the toilet partition, with a little head sticking up in between the walls.




Yes, I am a child, I know.

I went so far as to look up this clever moniker on the internet, and they're manufactured by a company called Santana... www.hinyhider.com. And I quote:

"We take pride in our highly engineered line of products which are used in schools, stadiums, prisons, retail locations, and other high-traffic, high-abuse environments. "

There is even a company store link... "With a trade name like Hiny Hiders, we have received many requests from customers and others for hats, t-shirts and other products and apparel imprinted, embossed or emblazoned with the distinctive name."

Well, kudos to you, Hiny Hider engineers. Your logo and advertisement of your product kept me smiling, and now I'm spreading the good word. And apparently I'm not the only one, because you sell hats, shirts, and underwear with it as well!

So for those of you out there reading my blog who are looking to build a prison, school, or stadium, I highly recommend this vendor to you! ;)
