Mark my words we are soon going to have to subscribe to our toilets. You get one flush a day for free. Save money by subscribing to the flush-lite which gives you 2 additional flushes. If you choose not to subscribe, you will be charged 2.99 for each flush beyond the first one.

    I literally have paid a toilet subscription for the past 10 years.

    Its the fee on my water bill called waste removal.

    Power is a subscription model, you want to have power at your house you pay a quarterly connection fee on top of what you use.
