90% of Toilets Are Installed Wrong (Here’s the Right Way)

What to study

Identity & Self-Relevance

  • 90% puts almost every toilet in the wrong pile, so any homeowner starts doubting their own.
  • Blurring the open drain hints at a mess without showing it.
  • The arrow marks one spot without naming the fault.
How the packaging works
Title

'Here's the Right Way' in brackets pairs the accusation with a fix, so the title reads as help rather than a scolding.

Thumbnail

WRONG repeats the title's key word, so the new part is the image, a grimy toilet outline and the host's wide-eyed uh-oh with a hand behind the head.

Remix this

When a common job is often done badly, lead with a share of people getting it wrong that you can back up. Put the fix in brackets so the title helps rather than scolds.
