Guy Pushed A 2,000-Pound Bath Bomb Into A Pool – And The Results Were Truly Epic

After a long, hard day, there’s nothing better than plopping a bath bomb into the tub and savoring its soothing fragrance, calming hue and subtle fizzing sound. But if a regular-sized version has the power to totally transform your soak, just imagine what one weighing 2,000 pounds would do when pushed into a swimming pool. Well, experimenters at the YouTube channel Vat19 decided to give it a go. And the result was so incredible, it attracted the attention of millions.

The task at hand obviously required a lot of planning. You’re unlikely to find a bath bomb of this magnitude in the cosmetic aisle at Target, after all. And, yes, that meant the Vat19 crew had to build the giant fizzy ball themselves. So, where did they start?

It’s easy to find bath bomb recipes online, but there’s no guidebook for building a 2,000-pound one! Even so, the Vat19 folks managed to pull the thing off, landing themselves in the Guinness World Records book at the same time. Yep, what they went on to create wasn’t just any bath bomb, it was the biggest the world has ever seen. Pretty impressive, right?

After experimenting with regular-sized bath bombs, the team realized exactly what color they wanted to turn their swimming pool. This didn’t mean simply filling their 2,000-pound sphere with a ton of dye, mind you. If the intrepid bomb-builders wanted the signature fizzing sound, they’d have to use traditional ingredients as well.

But even with those ingredients, no one could predict what would happen when the gigantic bath bomb hit the water. Would it even work? What if it just sank to the bottom? Could it even explode? There was only one way to find out, and the experimental bunch were, of course, prepared to see it through.
