![]() ![]() Meanwhile, I removed the leftover figure bags (which unsatisfyingly had the look and texture of a used condom) and put them to one side while I had a little soak. The fact that I forgot such an obvious detail is pretty hilarious though.ĭetermined not to let 1,825-day-old products get the best of my desired bathtime experience, I opted to add some bubble bath of my own (because I like bubbles). ![]() I later learned that I should have taken the plastic bag/wrapping off of the damn balls before I put them in the bath! That may well explain why their effect was quite pissy - however, given their age, it probably wouldn’t have made a difference. But not really a bath bomb as I was expecting. It turns out the actual blue material was contained inside the bag, and when the bag is punctured, it slowly releases the blue colouring into the water. As I briefly considered the volume of ancient chemicals I was about to absorb with my body, my attention turned to the two floating bags remaining in the bath. ![]() The end result was slightly satisfactory - but not without a little bit of elbow grease - a heart-warming blue glow of Sonic-blue water. My balls were oozing blue Sonic juice all over the bath in no time at all. After eight minutes, I decided to just grab the balls with a firm grip of my hand (oo-er) and squeeze them real tight. I wanted a show, dammit, and I was going to get one. "This is crap," I thought, ignoring the fact that these are half-decade old products. I had only seen a little bit of blue fizz and one blue Ball start to shrink like a Sonic testicle. ![]() Six minutes in and I was starting to get impatient (maybe this is the real Sonic-like experience you get from this?). I'll be honest, I was half-expecting the balls to give off some immediate fizzle and flair - and maybe they would have if I'd have used them five years ago - but they plopped into the water without so much as a whimper. Here comes the test - I chucked both of the Bath Balls into my already-filled tub. That's good advice mate, thanks very much. Each ball comes with a sticker that helpfully tells you not to eat the thing. Would the balls be all mouldy and crap? Will a flood of beetles scurry out when the ball fizzles out, like an episode of X-Files or something? My hesitation was only further amplified when I opened the packet and saw what was inside - an otherwise nice-looking blue ball that clearly had been ravaged by the stains of time. I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting myself into here. Wonder which ones we'll get!īearing in mind these are five-year-old items. but we'll see! On the back of the pack it explains that each bath ball actually contains a Sonic the Hedgehog 3cm figure - a choice of either Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles or Shadow. They were ¥500 each (which was about £3 at the time), so probably not the greatest value for money. I remember buying a whole bag of these on a trip to a Super Potato (I think it was in Osaka, maybe), most of them went to my friends post-holiday (and I assume have since used them and are not about to do something bizarre and weird like I am). So, after five years in storage - surviving a whole global pandemic - I decided to try them out. These little things have been around for a while, but after having something of a tiring week myself I remembered that I had purchased a couple of them during a previous visit to Japan. Introducing the Sonic the Hedgehog Bath Ball, a licensed tub-time product made by SK Japan. Well, lucky for Sonic fans, there is (or maybe, was) a product just for the discerning blue blur fanatic.
