Have you ever wondered why some people take so long in the toilet?

A possible reason could be gleaned from something Ho Ching recently shared on her Facebook page.

Here is the infographic.

And here's Ho sharing the aforementioned infographic:

Now, the post brings up some interesting points that are relevant to Singaporeans -- chief of all, the prevalence of smartphones in Singapore.
