A strange piece of Super Mario Galaxy Movie merchandise holds a creepy secret, one that doesn't reveal itself until a fan actually uses it. Those who are fans of Yoshi's appearance in the movie are the ones who are going to get caught out by it, potentially at a time when they're extremely vulnerable.

Yoshi wasn't in the original Super Mario Bros. Movie, but his egg did appear as a cameo in the post-credits scene. He would go on to be a major character in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, where he was voiced by Donald Glover, and while he didn't have as big a role as fans might have expected, he still had some great scenes.

Yoshi's presence in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie led to a ton of merchandise, especially surrounding his eggs. One of these is a bath bomb sold by Lush that has a creepy secret, depending on which one the player buys. As FoolishKia shared on Twitter/X, some Yoshi bath bombs will turn the water an unpleasant color.

The Yoshi Bath Bomb Has Crimson Liquid Inside

Some variants of the Yoshi Egg Bath Bomb turn the water red, as if the bath were filled with blood. This is great for any fans whose two favorite films are The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and The Shining.

So, why are Yoshi Egg Bath Bombs turning water red? Each one has a different Super Mario Bros. power-up inside, including a blue Ice Flower, a 1-Up Mushroom, and a bright red Fire Flower.

Naturally, anyone who gets the Yoshi Egg Bath Bomb with the Fire Flower is the one who gets the red water in the tub. The funny thing is that crimson doesn't come out right away, as the outer shell needs to break, meaning there is a creamy white substance that fills the bath first, before it starts to look like a murder scene.

The concept of Super Mario Galaxy Movie bath bombs is already strange enough on its own, but the idea that they transform the tub into something from a Saw movie is extra hilarious. Chances are, this will stay on the market, and lots of Mario fans are going to get a shock when they try to relax in the tub.
