(back before the days of smartphones & internet everywhere)
I once was sick in a foreign country and bought some chewable vitamin C that turned out to be those fizzing tabs you put in water - cue foaming at the mouth and utter confusion.
Happy it was still edible, just not in the way I tried to consume it.
Who would make soap and label it as strawberry yogurt candy?
Sure, it’s nice that they included this warning at the bottom of the candy looking label:
PRODUCTO COSMETICO. NAO COMESTIVEL.
And the only reason I understand that foreign language is after understanding the context of this entire debacle, analyzing the root words so "THIS is a COSMETIC product. NOT for EATING!
Reminds me of all the places around here that have Fabuloso (a Mexican multi colored cleaning product that often has no English on the label) in the same aisle as the fruit juices.
Native in the US has had candy body washes (gummy bears, candy hearts etc), cupcake scented one partnered with Cupcakes by Melissa, and currently has Girl Scouts body wash
To be fair it does look delicious and strawberry yoghurt sure is an unusual fragrance for soap. Hell, I can speak Portuguese and there’s still a non-zero chance I would’ve tried to eat this.
Doesn’t help that Mentos is a candy brand over here in the US. My dumb ass would’ve definitely eaten half of this and only realize something’s wrong when I start burping bubbles
