Those Tidy Bowl cakes are blue. You put them in the back tank of the toilet bowl to sanitize and color the water in the tank to keep it smelling clean and to reduce oxidation from hard water (iron) sediments that collect like rust on the bowl's interior... we have them in the grocery stores under household cleaning items. I will see about taking a picture of them along with their list of ingredients and post them soon. Or, I could send you a pack of them if you don't see anything there where you are that's the same but of a different brand name.

IIRC those toilet bowl cleaners consisted mostly of paradicholorobenzene a few years ago, but apparently they found it to be a hazardous substance so they use something else now...

IIRC, urinal cakes are paradichlorbenzene, based in a little research, I think toilet bowl cleaner pucks are Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate

I had a look at the supermarket today and there was no hard dry tablets, but there was soft gel type tablets and they are not the type of thing that I would like to be plunging into the melt.
