So one day I'm flipping through the channels and some guy gutted someone's basement to turn it into a rental for extra income. The toilet had dual flush. Yep, had two buttons at the top of the tank...1 button for numba 1 and 1 button for numba 2.

A friend has the 2 button loo,, big $$.
We put in the 1 gal type when we built in 97,, just changed to the new style and it flushes much better.. but we didn't go the 2 button route..

They left out France, well I guess just Paris anyhow... They have them, I suppose they just chose not to use them, so I guess it doesn't count.
This post reminds me, I need to go snake my toilet, AGAIN. 3 y/o kids like to flush the most random of objects. These super high tech toilets aren't fond of stuffed animals.

We've had Toto Drakes (made in Viet Nam, of course  ) for 6 years and they are great! Zero problems. Zero double flushes.

We have the Drakes as well. Great toilets, it really takes a lot to stop them.

This forum is helpful in all areas of life.
Getting the straight poop on almost any issue.
Toto Drake
A contemporary, high profile design makes the Toto Drake toilet one of the most popular models in our inventory. Featuring the quiet yet powerful G-Max flushing system, the Toto Drake toilet not only infuses your bathroom with style, but also enhances it with efficient, commercial grade flushing performance.
Now that's what I'm talking about.
Bet the average Taliban fighter doesn't have access to thrones like these.

Pat knows what he is talking about, the ToTo Drake is one of the best non-pressure assisted toilets in the Logisphere. Prior to the installing the Drake in my own home, log jams and curt voice mails from the Boss lady were a monthly experience, since I installed the Drake we might have one log jam once every six months.
With the simple design of the Gerber or the ToTo Drake you can't go wrong. One option many of my customers go for on the ToTo is the Sanigloss Finish which makes it nearly a self cleaning toilet.

Since were on the subject of crap...
While on a FTX at Ft. Lewis, WA back in '83 our Lieutenant walked outside of our perimeter at night and relieved himself. Being that the ground contained many rocks he chose not to practice proper field sanitation. Later that evening some agressors were low crawling to assualt our position when suddenly we heard them. They stood and began talking about something that didn't smell too good. Apparently one of them got a nice brown stain on the front of his BDUs.
We all had a good laugh after that one.

Dual flush toilets are bog standard (no pun intended) round these parts, where water conservation is an issue. Makes for challenging decision-making after a few rounds in the pub... "big button or little button  ?"
