The whole situation isn't very good, no matter how you look at it.

As long as they are going to limit us to a 1.6 gallon flush, they should mount the tanks up by the ceiling again, like they used to in the olden days. Then the flush would have some force behind it.

They still make them, they even make tanks that hide up in the wall, but that won't help if the bowl exit is not shaped properly.

I'm picturing a lacrosse-type action.
