Okay, I had to cheat for that one. Discourse wanted a complete sentence, as @chgoliz said. All-caps wasn’t the issue.
(Now Discourse wants me to consider replying to several posts at once 
)

Oh.
I was thinking more commercials for things like paint, makeup, breakfast cereal that stays crunchy in milk, shampoo…
Guess I gotta work on getting my head in the gutter.

I had to do some googling and guessing before I figured it out. The acronyms vary a bit. ETMLI5 seems a bit more common, and stands for “Explain to me like I’m five”*

Yeah, I normally see it written as “ELI5” (like the subreddit) but it was close enough that I could figure out the remainder of the acronym.

I was kind of wondering if that’s what was meant, but really wasn’t sure and didn’t want to assume I was.
Thank you!
(I wonder how often I will think of Super Soakers under certain conditions in future, thanks to your explanation?)
