Trend Spotting: Curry baths.

Enjoy smelling like curry? You're in luck! CScout reports on the growing trend of turning bath water into dinner.

Bandai has come out with Curry Bath Powder, a dissolvable powder reminiscent of a curry roux cube and packaged accordingly. Such curry starter kits, the base of a simple home cooked dinner, are common fixtures on Japanese supermarket shelves.

The series includes four varieties—sweet, hot, very, hot, and white stew—that promise to turn your bath water the corresponding color. Not quite as gross at is sounds, the scents draw on the more bath-appropriate ingredients found in curry such as ginger, honey, and milk, plus red pepper extract. With the high gimmick value of the Curry Bath Powder, Bandai is looking to follow up on their success earlier this year with the ¥10,000 note bath Bubble Money.
