There’s an old expression that says “You don’t need to reinvent the wheel,” meaning that you don’t need to create something that already exists.

Mess-free toilet uncloggerCurrently available only in South Korea, this invention uses a similar principle to that of a plunger, but creates more pressure and prevents mess from leaking out in the process.
