PISCATAWAY, N.J., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- With nearly 750 Tweets per week about toilets, there are a lot of toilet stories to be told.

The "Tell Us Your Best Toilet Story" contest from American Standard is the chance to win the best toilet for the best toilet story. Simply submit a paragraph or two about a memorable toilet experience at www.facebook.com/AmericanStandardBrands between September 9 and October 9, 2009, and members of the page will vote for their favorites through October 12, 2009. The grand prize of a Champion 4 toilet, complete with installation and the Champion 4 Slow Close toilet seat will be awarded to the story that receives the highest number of "thumbs up" from readers. Four additional top vote getters will be awarded a free Champion(R) 4 toilet with Champion 4 Slow Close toilet seat.

"Everyone uses toilets, so nearly everyone has a toilet story," said Jeannette Long, American Standard general manager of e-business. "Tell people you work for a plumbing company, and you hear them all: the one about the overflow during the big party or the one about what the kids have tried to flush.

"We figured the best story deserved the best toilet."

Members will vote for the story they are most likely to repeat to friends and family.

There is no purchase necessary to enter or to join the voting. If not a Facebook account holder, there is no fee or charge to become a registered Facebook member. Contest rules are available on American Standard's website, www.americanstandard.com.

Independently Rated to Be a Top Flusher

The Champion 4 itself is a great toilet story. With the widest waterways available to prevent clogging, backed by an unheard-of limited lifetime warranty on all parts, Champion 4 was recently ranked as a top performer by a leading consumer ratings magazine. Champion 4 toilet models have been consistently ranked among the best toilets in the Maximum Performance Testing (MaP) test, now in its 14th edition, conducted by Veritec Consulting, Inc. & Koeller and Company: http://www.cuwcc.org/MaPTesting.aspx.
