Procter & Gamble Co., suggests Old Faithful's guardians lighten up a bit.

Besides Old Faithful is not as regular as many believe. It erupts every 45 minutes to two hours, on average every 92 minutes.

Quoted from the CCN article:

Park Service officials scoff at the notion the famous geyser would ever need help, and point out the damage that can be caused by dumping things into the park's thermal features -- not to mention that venturing near geysers and hot springs is often very dangerous.

"It suggests that it's OK to pour some substance into a thermal feature," Park Service spokesman Al Nash said. "We've spent decades trying to educate visitors about the fact that it's harmful to the feature and that it's dangerous for anyone to take an action like that." src="adland.tv/etamucil-old-faithful-2002-030-usa"> Super adgrunts - click to view advert here
