The official Super Mario Galaxy bath bomb is traumatizing kids

Lush Cosmetics' Super Mario Galaxy movie partnership accidentally looks like something out of a horror movie

What better way to celebrate the upcoming release of the Super Mario Galaxy movie than by murdering Yoshi? Earlier this month, cosmetics and beauty company Lush launched a partnership with Nintendo that sounds cute on paper: giant Yoshi egg bath bombs. The idea is that you put the spotted eggs into the water and watch them "hatch" into surprises. The eggs turn into a collection of classic Super Mario power-ups, like green mushrooms, golden coins, and red fire flowers. Perhaps you see where this is going?

The prizes are all bath gummies, which carry essential oils meant to hydrate the skin. The Yoshi eggs cost $16 — nearly $20 once tax is factored in — but the size, combined with the gummies' more long-term nature, is supposed to justify that price tag. And for the most part, aside from the price, people seem happy with Lush's Yoshi bath bombs. But folks who leave the product a positive review tend to get the mushroom and coin eggs. The people with the fire flowers? They're calling the police, judging from videos posted on social media.

You see, when the eggs start melting, they sputter out a color that teases whatever is inside. And unfortunately, the fire flower egg makes it look like our dinosaur pal is dying on the way here. Adults encountering this phenomenon, like al_h_ice does in this video, find it morbidly funny. The children who are excitedly getting into the water, hoping to have a good time? They're screaming and trying to get out of the bath, as you can see in this upload by TikToker mercy_festus. Probably, it didn't help that one of the adults in this video mentioned that it looked like the egg was bleeding.

In the comments, many blame the parents for laughing at the situation and not reassuring their children a bit more. Others see the color of the dye and are cutting the parents some slack. "Red was an odd choice, though," one comment reads.

Videos showing the same Yoshi egg color on other social media sites concur, as evidenced by the replies on adrianwidjy's Facebook video for the product. "Imagine giving this to your kid and five minutes into bath time you hear them crying because they think they killed Yoshi," one Facebook parent replied. " I loved this until my kiddos had a reaction to it," another parent who used the product said.

"I was going to buy one for my kiddo until I saw all the red," one mom said with a crying laughing emoji. "That'd traumatize him."

Hopefully, Yoshi's death is not something Donald Glover had to actually voice in the Super Mario Galaxy movie.
