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:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
