Powder by Japanese retailer can make your baths smell like pizza or beer

Bathing is fun, especially during hot and humid weather. But despite the obvious health benefits, it can get monotonous, and maybe even boring at times.

To spice things up, Japanese novelty retail chain Village Vanguard, created bathing powders themed after food favorites like pizza and yakiniku, reports RocketNews24.

Other flavors include coriander, gyoza, edamame soybeans, and even beer. Mixed in the bathtub, they give off the same delicious aroma that one can expect from the foods that inspired their creation.

Of course the bathing powders are not edible, though they can probably make the bathers smell luscious.

All six of the flavors are now available for pre-order at the Village Vanguard website and stocks will be ready by mid-June. Alfred Bayle/JB

Kit Kat durian suggested by Thailand to boost tourism

One of the smelliest fruit in the world, many both love and hate the durian. And yet a curious bid could result in a durian-flavored Kit Kat.

As a means to help boost tourism, Thailand sent in a list of suggested local delicacies that they believe would be ripe for a Kit Kat flavor, reports RocketNews24.

Kit Kats in Japan are well-known for featuring all sorts of flavor, from green tea to sake, even wasabi. Having a Kit Kat flavor after Asia’s pungent “king of fruits” would be quite a curiosity.

Thai minister for tourism and sports Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul stated that Nestlé, Kit Kat’s manufacturer, is currently exploring the feasibility of a durian Kit Kat.

While surprising, this is not the first time that an odd Kit Kat flavor was released. Currently, the title of “oddest creation” would probably go to either Kit Kat pizza or Kit Kat sushi. But if they get the smell right, Durian Kit Kat could be a close contender. Alfred Bayle/JB
