"He doesn't know how to use the three seashells!"

A man visited a brewery and, while in the restroom, he noticed a shelf with three seashells on it.

Confused, he snapped a quick photo and posted it to social media.

"First time visiting this brewery and they have a weird system in the bathroom. Can someone explain?" he wrote.

It's a movie reference from the 1993 film Demolition Man.

If you haven't seen the classic action flick, super-cop John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) is cryogenically frozen for 40 years and thawed out in 2032 to help take down a returned criminal. However, a lot has changed in those four decades.

In one scene he goes to use the bathroom, and complains there is no toilet paper. Instead there is only three seashells on a shelf.

Rob Schneider's character goes on to say, "He doesn't know how to use the three seashells."

According to the film's screenwriter, Daniel Waters, the idea came from a bathroom that had seashells in it for decoration.

"I'm trying to come up with futuristic things you'd find in there. I was having trouble, so I called my buddy, another screenwriter across town, asked him if he had any ideas," Waters said.

His friend was in the bathroom when he answered the phone.

"[He] looked around his bathroom and said 'I have a bag of seashells on my toilet as a decoration?' I said 'Okay, I'll make something out of that'."
