A Valentine's Day Surprise

Straight From the Sauce-Loving Masses

According to a Papa John’s press release, fans have been fantasizing about this for a while, sharing posts online like, “I could bathe in @PapaJohns garlic sauce” and “Does anyone occasionally want to bathe in Papa John’s garlic sauce..” 


Instead of letting these tweets live on as unfulfilled dreams, Papa John’s took them seriously — too seriously, perhaps — and created the Special Garlic Bath Bomb. 


“This Valentine’s Day, the pizza company is showing a little extra love to their most passionate fans by turning their wildest dreams into reality,” a spokesperson for Papa John’s said.

Looks Just Like the Real Thing

The bath bomb even looks like the dipping sauce, housed in a dark green box labeled “Special Garlic Bath Bomb.” So you can fool yourself into thinking you’re about to drizzle it over some crust instead of, well, yourself.
