Successful Musician's Career Lands in the Toilet!

Rocker Turned CEO Invents Foot Flush

CHICAGO, March 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Eric Herbst, a singer - song writer -
guitarist whose songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash and B.B. King
has taken a new step in his career. He is the inventor of the Foot
Flush(R). The Foot Flush, a retrofit foot pedal, makes your home
toilet hands free.

As a musician, he would play in bars and nightclubs with dirty
bathrooms. Herbst didn't want to touch the toilet so he would flush
with his foot. He knew there had to be a better way. So he invented
the Foot Flush. ($29.95) http://www.footflush.com

"I had been thinking about the Foot Flush for years," Herbst said.
"After a gig, I grabbed a bass drum pedal and a piece of string and
walked into my bathroom. My girlfriend said what are you doing? I tied
one end of the string to the pedal and the other to the handle. When I
stepped on the pedal it flushed. She said cool and the first Foot
Flush was born."

Herbst has spent two years turning the Foot Flush into the
revolutionary new product it is today. It hooks up to your home toilet
in less than 2 minutes without tools. Anyone can do it. Then you just
step and flush. "It's not just a great idea anymore. It's a great
product," Herbst said. "It's been tested to 800,000 flushes."

Beside the obvious health advantages of the Foot Flush, Herbst has
received rave reviews for his new device from customers with back
problems, arthritis, MS and other physical difficulties. "While it's
not like hearing the roar of the crowd," says Herbst, "it makes me
feel really good to know I've created something that is helping
people."

Mothers are also singing the Foot Flush(R) praises. "It's great! It
gets my kids to flush," said Stephanie Kastenhuber of North Haven, CT.
"It's great for potty training too." Herbst knows about kids. In 1992
he wrote and recorded the children's songs "The Good, The Bad and The
Two Cookie Kid" with Country Music legend Johnny Cash and "The Rainy
Day Blues" with the King of the Blues himself B.B. King.

Herbst who once thought he was the only "Foot Flusher" now knows there
are millions of them. A study by Impulse Research Corp found more than
40 percent of Americans using restrooms flush with their feet rather
than touch anything with their hands. "That's over 82 million American
Foot Flushers," Herbst said. Are you a Foot Flusher? They are
available for $29.95 at http://www.footflush.com.

Herbst rocker turned CEO is bringing his product to McCormick Place in
Chicago for the 2006 home and housewares show March 11th through the
13th. The Foot Flush is patent pending and a registered trademark of
Foot Flush International, LLC.
