TikTok user Jocelyn Saribay took the internet by storm with a viral video showcasing the extraordinary power of an airplane toilet's suction. The video, which has amassed over one million views, demonstrates the toilet's ability to suck up a sheet of toilet paper from the ground, leaving viewers, including Saribay herself, in awe. This revelation has sparked conversations about the sanitary conditions of airplane lavatories and the etiquette surrounding bathroom usage during flights.
In the video, Saribay places a sheet of toilet paper on the ground and watches as it gets swiftly sucked into the toilet, illustrating the powerful siphon feature present in airplane lavatories. The demonstration left her and many onlookers shocked by the sheer strength of the toilet's suction, capable of picking up objects from the ground effortlessly.
Frequent flyers have long warned against touching toilet paper in airplane bathrooms due to potential contamination. Cabin crew member Kate emphasized this concern by stating that sanitary products in airplane bathrooms are often contaminated by the time passengers use them.
“It’s got men’s pee pee on it because they don’t know how to control that thang” – Kate
The video not only highlighted the impressive power of the toilet's suction but also drew attention to common in-flight faux pas. Flight attendant and blogger Rich Henderson advises against creating lines outside airplane bathrooms, as it can exacerbate the situation.
“Lining up makes it worse because everyone thinks there’s always going to be a line” – Rich Henderson
Henderson assures passengers that there will be opportunities when bathroom traffic lulls, even for flight attendants who need to use the facilities.
“I promise there will be a lull in the bathroom traffic. [Flight attendants] have to go as well” – Rich Henderson
Saribay's video quickly spread across social media platforms, with users expressing both shock and amusement at the demonstration. One TikTok user humorously commented on their eagerness to witness the phenomenon firsthand.
