Edit: OK, I am not sure where I got 2.5 gallons from because it turns out standard toilets in the US are 1.6 gallons, as the comment below states. It still seems crazy to me that 1.6 gallons can push waste all the way from the toilet to the sewer. I feel like it would stop at some point and need more water to get to the street.
On a side note, I find plumbing and water treatment fascinating.

I want one of those commercial toilets in my house. I will *never* work at a place that does not have a commercial toilet ever again.
I have super-sized shits, and have clogged up toilets many times. Flush 5 or 6 or 10 times and it just does not go down. And then give up and let it sit there, ready to ambush the next person going into the shitter.
One place I worked at, the building owners were so cheap that the janitorial staff came in once a week, so if I took a shit on Friday, it would be in the toilet until the next Friday when the janitor came in again.
