Urinal cakes speak against drunk driving

LANSING, Mich., July 3 (UPI) -- Michigan State Police said talking urinal cakes with an anti-drunken driving message will be distributed to nearly 200 eateries before Wednesday.

The state police's Office of Highway Safety Planning said the urinal cakes are being distributed to establishments serving alcoholic beverages in Bay, Wayne, Delta and Ottawa counties as part of a ramped-up effort to prevent drunken driving from now to Sunday, the Bay City Times reported Tuesday.

"Listen up. That's right, I'm talking to you. Had a few drinks? Maybe a few too many? Then do yourself and everyone else a favor: Call a sober friend or a cab. Oh, and don't forget to wash your hands," the urinal cakes say in a pre-recorded message.

The Detroit News reported the cakes are made by Wizmark of Crownsville, Md., which also manufactures urinal cakes that sing and flash lights.
