Yes, I ruined the surprise
Jaws bath bomb. Amazon link. Original tweet. You can count on the Japanese.
I stopped buying fancy bath bombs. So many of them have things like lavender or flower petals in them, and when they float to the surface, it feels like I’m soaking in a tub full of bugs.

Would you believe I’d never run across the term “bath bomb” before? Of course, the first thought that crossed my mind had to do with waterproof cannon fuse.
I wonder if anyone’s made one in the form of the beastie in the original Star Wars trash compactor chamber. Oh, silly me, of course someone has!

Oops, spoke too soon. Lots of toys and action figures, but apparently no one has tried to hawk a trash compactor monster bath bomb. Pity.

Could be worse, could be a dehydrated essence bath bomb made from some Japanese woman’s flowery bath.

Okay: Somebody has to say it, I’ll step up.
You’re gonna need a bigger bath tub!

Oh, Stoaty—you reminded me of why I don’t use bath bombs. The first time I ever screamed—I mean the blood-curdling movie kind of scream—I was about four and taking my first ever bubble bath. I was intrigued by the shadows of the bubbles on bottom of the tub—in particular one darker spot that even my little child brain finally realized was not connected to swirling the bubbles around. It was a large spider. I think the neighbors heard me as I levitated out of the tub.
My poor father was in the bathroom in seconds and held me while I sobbed. Thus I learned to shower at a very early age and I’ve never ever taken another bubble bath!
