urinal cake

Lavatory scent block

A urinal cake is a solid deodorizing block placed in urinals to mask odors and sometimes to help prevent buildup in plumbing.

The disks dissolve slowly with repeated flushing.

Despite the name, they contain no edible ingredients—cake here refers only to the compressed, puck-like shape.
