I knew this, but had a harsh realization once. I was moving out of a place, and flushing down the things that were flushable to save garbage runs.

One such thing was a jar of mini-pickles. The next day, I realized why that was a problem. They probably rehydrated in the pipes back to their originalish size. That toilet didn't flush properly again for a while.




The flushing of pickles down your toilet was probably going to cause problems before any rehydration concerns.


These weren't big ones... to start.


They’re also food waste that should go in the trash, not into the waste treatment system.
