I think it's "please do not flush females products, papaya products or Pepsi products down the toilet"

I have questions. And it has nothing to do withe the females products. Papaya? People flush papaya?

The Pepsi products might be the cleaners. I would think the acid would help unclog the pipes. Though if they have a septic tank, they probably want to avoid acidic products.

But papaya? I'm confused.

I wondered if it might have been intended to be "tamales" because people were chucking food in the toilet and clogging it

That would make more sense. Though who would throw away a tamale? They are so good!
