Ever hear of this site called wikipedia? It's pretty cool, has a lot of info about things and stuff.

Urinal deodorizer blocks are the small disinfectant blocks found in urinals. Other informal terms ******* "urinal block", "toilet lolly" (Australian), "urinal puck" or "trough lolly" (chiefly British).

The purpose of these blocks is to disinfect and deodorize washroom urinals. Placed above the urinal drain, they are air-activated and slowly evaporate when in contact with the air. Since they do not dissolve in water, they do not deodorize the flushing water and urine.

They are usually cylindrical — about eight centimeters in diameter, two centimeters thick, and weigh about one hundred grams when new. This shape is the source of their more informal name, as they somewhat resemble small blockss. They are generally pink in color, although other colours, such as green, blue and white, are seen.

The chemicals composing the block may vary. The base is commonly pure paradichlorobenzene or naphthalene. The block's functionality is enhanced by saturating it with a scenting compound and quaternary ammonium compounds. Urinal blocks of the size listed above and made of this chemical usually last 30–60 days.

Novelty blocks are from time to time manufactured with bull's eyes or pop-culture villains pictured upon them. There is an advertising or promotional talking block called Wizmark, including an "Interactive Urinal Communicator" providing an auto activated 15 second pre-recorded audio message or flashing lights from inside the urinal.

Urinal cakes are sometimes the source of pranks and shenanigans. Patrons on rare occasions have been known to stick forks in urinal blocks for all to see.

I've never called it a toilet lolly before.

Also there's no such thing as a talking urinal.
