If you’re a fan of both Super Mario Bros. and Lush bath bombs, then you’re in for a real shock. Recently, fans of both franchises have noticed something unsettling about one specific batch of bath bombs. While the bath bombs were designed to resemble classic characters like Mario and Luigi, many fans are seeing them in a whole new light – one that unfortunately resembles the color of pee. Keep reading to learn more about this bizarre product mishap and its impact on fans of both brands.
Lush, the cosmetics retailer, recently unveiled a collection of Super Mario Bros. bath items. Bath bombs, which comprise essential oils and other ingredients for skincare, are Lush’s signature product, and the coin block bath bomb containing one of six Mario-themed body soaps is particularly intriguing. However, a customer has reported that the bomb produces “pee yellow” water, a less than desirable effect. While some TikTok influencers have posted videos showing the bath bomb producing golden yellow water, this one individual has garnered a lot of attention with their less pleasant experience. Lush has not revealed the ingredients in the product, but similar bath bombs consist of baking soda, bubble mix, citric acid and essential oils. Some experts have warned that such items may be harsh on plumbing as oils and glitters can block pipes. Despite the adverse reaction, Lush is selling the bath bomb for $18, and it includes a soap shaped like a mushroom, coin, ice flower, fire flower or yellow star.
In conclusion, while the Super Mario Bros. x Lush bath bombs may resemble pee, it’s important to remember that they were never intended to be anything of the sort. Despite some unfortunate similarities, fans of the franchise and fans of Lush products alike can still enjoy these fun and colorful bath bombs with confidence. And who knows, maybe these bath bombs will inspire new ideas for creative collaborations between two unlikely brands in the future.
