Ala Turka or Ala Franca?

When I was about 8 or 9 years old, I lived with my grandmother in Istanbul, Turkey. Visiting guests who asked to use the restroom had a choice of toilet: Ala Turka or ala Franca.  The ala Franca toilet is the toilet we are all familiar with.  Some people may have encountered the ala Turka version while traveling in India, Asia or the Middle East.  It's basically a squatting toilet.  If you are interested in the history of toilet design, go to this amazing master thesis paper  https://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12610448/index.pdf
A few weeks ago, while shopping at Bed Bath and Beyond, I noticed an interesting product, a toilet stool which converts your toilet into a squatting toilet.  The photo shows the luxury version sold for about $65.  There was also a more affordable plastic version for $25.
Check out this very funny video of a unicorn pooping and demonstrating the use of the Squatty Potty:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbYWhdLO43Q  and here are some screenshots of the video.

So, I think you get the idea.  One of the managers at Bed Bath & Beyond told me that the Squatty Potty was selling quite well, and just as I was talking with her, she pointed to a young man at a register buying one of them.  I approached the young man, handing him my business card, identifying me as a health blogger and asked if he would talk to me about the item he just bought.  It was very kind of him to talk to me about this rather delicate subject.  It's not every day that you get approached by a total stranger and asked to talk about your pooping habits or problems.  He said that he had seen the Squatty Potty advertised on TV and was buying it for a family member, suffering from constipation and hemorrhoids.  He thought it seemed like a sensible thing to try.
