Remote Controlled Toilet Toys

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Wheely Toilet Remote Controlled Toy is a Wacky Take on RC Cars

— March 13, 2014 — Life-Stages
Instead of a car, this wacky remote controlled toy puts a toilet on wheels. The toy is humorously named the 'Urinal Run WC RC,' but the "WC" part indicating the washroom has been crossed out.

The Rakuten product page for the RC toilet toy features a ton of quips about the convenience of having the toilet come to you, instead of you running towards it.

The quirky Japanese toy runs on six AA batteries and costs just over $12 US. Despite its small size, the toy claims to be able to support a load of about 400 grams in weight and as Rakuten describes, this makes it ideal for carrying around toilet paper and tiny bottles.
