This giant nose dispenses dripping gel that you smear all over your body. Just be careful if there is a "lotion" dispenser where you don't expect it. I wonder if you pick it, will it bleed? This does *rank* up there with the [giant nose tissue dispenser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qugetips), snot hair gel and snot pockets. **Implications** - Why be serious when you can have a little fun with decor? This [soap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirt-destroyer) is one of the many home products that have a [playful quality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/so-clean-you-can-kiss-it) injected into them. Designer dispensers and items are great, but they are often too expensive for the average consumer.
