"The trade association wanted Americans to to wash quite unwittingly after toilet, to wash without thought before eating, to jump into the tub as automatically as one might awake each new day."

That's what the location was called in the original Secret Wars.

Now I want pad thai for lunch.

Thanks for pointing this out. This ad was disgusting.
