Ring-Embedded Bath Bombs

Sanrio and Fragrant Jewels Created These Hello Kitty Bath Bombs

— September 1, 2017 — Fashion
Sanrio, the company that's responsible for Hello Kitty & Friends products, games and more, collaborated with Fragrant Jewels, a company that sells bath products, candy and candles that have hidden rings inside of them, to create Hello Kitty bath bombs.

Like Fragrant Jewels' other products, each of the Hello Kitty bath bombs comes with a little pod inside of it that contains a ring. There are a total of 10 different rings that could be inside of the pods, however those who are especially lucky have the chance to get one of those that is worth $10,000 USD. As only three of the Hello Kitty bath bombs contain these luxurious rings, Sanrio and Fragrant Jewels gives consumers an incentive to buy more of the product to have a better chance of getting one.
