Urinal Deodorizer Block
Urinal deodorizer blocks, also often called urinal cakes, para blocks, urinal mints, urinal pucks, urinal peons (pee-ons), or urinal cookies, are the small disinfectant blocks found in urinals.
The purpose of these blocks is to disinfect and reduce or mask the odor of restroom urinals. They are placed above the urinal drain (often in the confines of a small plastic trap known as a "Puck Caddy" or "urinal screen" that prevents their loss down the drain when they dissolve to a small size).

Famous quotes containing the word block:
“Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one’s future must be hewn.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
