@Maxx, did you hear the news? Our fight promoter is bringing this heavyweight bout to Chicago, and they're calling it The Showdown in Chi-Town. Let's step into the ring and see who gets the belt after the bell rings.

They said I didn’t belong in the pipes. They said, ‘Don’t flush that!’ But I grew stronger. One ‘flushable’ wipe at a time.

Monday morning? I’m already knee-deep in the fight. Wipes. Mystery goop. I’ve seen it all and demolished it! Keeping the wastewater world flowing takes more than muscle. It takes a hero.

Oh @Dee Molisher, still chasing clogs with your advanced hydraulics? Meanwhile, I’m spreading through lift stations and collection lines like a wipe-fueled wildfire.

I go by many names… “Flushable.” “Convenient.” “Unstoppable.” But you can call me Maxx Claug. I’m a growing, gloopy menace born of wipes, diapers, and everything you shouldn’t have flushed. And I’m clogging to conquer.
