- A woman purchased a $3 Vanilla Latte scented bath bomb for her children
- The special treat turned the water a muddy brown, leaving her in stitches
- Some likened the scene to being the fifth child to wash in the family bath water
A Victorian mother has shared pictures of a bath-time disaster, showing how a nice thought can go terribly wrong.
The woman had purchased a $3 Vanilla Latte bath bomb from K-Mart in anticipation of a fun surprise for her children, but the bomb turned a luxurious soak into a grossly unpleasant wash.
Pictures shared to a Facebook group of mothers showed the bath had turned brown from the bath bomb, a shade often associated with unsafe water.
A Victorian woman bought her children a bath bomb as a present, but the Vanilla Latte flavoured treat did not go down as expected
The bomb turned the water a muddy brown, a similar colour to if someone had soiled themselves in the tub, the woman said
‘Looks like someone pooped in the bath,’ she wrote.
Despite the unfortunate conditions, the children appear to have put up with the unfortunate colouring and bathed anyway.
In pictures of the water shared to social media, limbs were seen off to the side of the bath tub.
The woman explained to other members of the Facebook group her kids had made the best of a bad situation and laughed the whole thing off.
‘I said to my kids, “It looks like you are bathing in poop” and they also had a bit of a laugh,’ she wrote.
Other members of the social media group laughed at the woman’s predicament, telling her the bath looked like ‘river water’, while some likened it to being the fifth child to wash in the family bath water.
Despite the unfortunate colour of the water, the woman said her children were good sports about the situation and laughed it off
