Toilet cleaning brand [Bloo's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spa-moments) recently took to the streets of central London to give commuters something to smile about on [Blue Monday](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evening-bottomless-brunch), the day that scientists have determined to be "the saddest day of the year." The innovative brand activation featured an enormous fibreglass toilet installed at One New Change, a major office and retail development near St. Paul's Cathedral.

The promotion, aimed at cheering up passersby, included pink water inside the [giant toilet installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-toilet) that emitted a pleasant fragrance when "flushed." Additionally, the promotional event featured a host of brand ambassadors handing out beautiful bouquets of pink tulips. Individuals were invited to write down what was making them "bloo" and then flush it down the giant toilet.
