In 1921, the Curtiss Candy Company refashioned its Kandy Kake into the Baby Ruth. The bar was a staple of the Chicago-based company for some seven decades. Curtiss was purchased by Nabisco in 1981. In 1990, RJR Nabisco sold the Curtiss brands to Nestle. nestlÃ©
Toilets manufactured in the 1980s use 3.5 gallons per flush, and models manufactured prior to that use even more, between 5 and 7 gallons per flush. When you consider the average person flushes five times per day, this can account for a considerable amount of water usage, particularly in multiperson households. Every toilet manufactured since 1994 uses a maximum of 1.6 gallons per flush. Some newer models use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush. While early models used to draw complaints about their poor flushing capabilities, low-flush toilets now flush just as well as their older, water-wasting counterparts.
A toilet manufactured before 1980 might use 5 to 8 gallons per flush (gpf), which means that each of the home's residents might be flushing 48 gallons of water down the drain daily. By contrast, a toilet built to 1992 standards uses 1.6 gpf, and the average flusher uses about 9.1 gallons of water daily.
