I think it’s a stretch for them to say that these icons are communicable in ‘any’ country; ‘a lot of countries’ is probably more accurate. Eating utensils vary. Also toilet design can be different in some countries and the icon may make someone think you’re asking for a chair. But I’m guessing whomever’s buying this tee won’t be going into rural interiors of foreign countries. Glad they didn’t add the thumbsup icon; it doesn’t mean in S Asia what it does here! :O
