Have you ever sat on a heated toilet seat? It is an experience not to be missed. Imagine a heated car seat on a cold day, and then imagine that without pants.

Alaska. Outdoor, unheated toilets. -30°F

I don't find the indoor, room temp toilet seats such a hardship any more.

Montana for me. But you’re right.

But I noticed Americans started screaming about the low-flow toilets fast enough, so theyre not completely indifferent. I’m not crazy about low flow toilets myself. And that might be a reason that these Japanese toilets haven’t caught on—the guy say that they use a lot of water.

But I appreciate his point. Sometimes there are obvious reasons, cultural or whatever, that people reject good ideas from other countries. Other times its a mystery.
