Mixed Reactions to the Grass Block Bath Bomb
Lush, the British cosmetics brand known for its vibrant and imaginative products, has recently launched a new collaboration inspired by the popular video game Minecraft. This collection, which includes ten bath bombs, a shower jelly, a bubble bar, and solid soap, is priced starting at £3.75. However, the reception has been less than favorable, particularly for one product: the Grass Block bath bomb.
Earlier this week, a TikTok user known as
The aftermath of her bath experience was equally troubling. After the bathwater drained, her white tub was left with remnants of brown clay and grey sediment, leading her to lament, “I honestly couldn’t get in this bath.” The video has sparked a wave of reactions, with viewers echoing her sentiments. One commented, “The chunks are diabolical,” while another expressed hesitation about purchasing a Minecraft gift set for a loved one.
Some viewers drew comparisons between the murky bathwater and the Seine River, which had recently been found to contain high levels of faecal bacteria ahead of the Olympics. Comments like “It’s giving the French river” highlighted the humorous yet critical nature of the feedback.
Despite the negative reviews, some fans noted the pleasant scent of the bath bomb, with one viewer stating, “It smells super fresh, which I did love!” This contrast between the product’s aroma and its visual outcome has left many consumers divided.
Originally released in 2009, Minecraft has sold over 300 million copies, making it the best-selling video game of all time. Its expansive sandbox universe allows players to create and explore, which may have inspired Lush’s creative approach to this collaboration. As the brand continues to innovate, the reception of the Grass Block bath bomb serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between creativity and consumer expectations.
