February 13, 2007: Chocolate baths

Spluch offers up news of this chocolate bath which is available to patrons of a hot springs spa resort in Hakone, west of Tokyo, Japan. This is not the first time this spa has been featured on Spluch; before, it's been noticed offering other baths, of wine, Japanese sake, green tea and coffee. They note:

oddly, they don't look like they're having much fun

Nothin' says luvin' like lickin' the chocolate off your partner after 10 other guests have peed in it.

Oh, the Japanese. Years ahead of us...or are they?

In Japan, even the chocolate baths are crowded as all hell.

It's actually the world's largest Bass-O-Matic.

3 minutes on puree and you've got a very high-protein chocolate shake.

Jap-O-Matic?

This was on the news just a few minutes ago. They sure looked to be having fun on the camera they had in there. I hope none of the mum's and dad's are hoping junior goes down for a nap afterwards though. Imagine the sugar high!

It's true that the water has chocolate stuff in it, but there's also melted chocolate continuously flowing into the baths, so I'd imagine the licking off chocolate would be that which had fallen directly from the font.

In that water you can hide more than the occasional peeing.

The kids wearing goggles...were they actually hoping to see something underwater?

Bearing in mind that the Japanese clean themselves before getting in communal baths (and think the Western idea of a bath where you sit in your own dirt is filthy) I would suggest that only chocolate on the bodies is licked off.

It still looks like my idea of hell, personally.

Get a chocolate massage bar from Lush - much more personal. Just don't send it cheekily through the post to your amour's workplace, only to have the postroom leave it next to a radiator. Ahem.

What the.... massage bar... rub on skin.... chocolate? Do you eat the chocolate that's been packaged with.....

Actually the one I had (years ago) was mostly cocoa butter & chocolate from what I remember...

But if I was massaging this into someone you can bet I'd have a lick at some point

OK, so the chocolate is part of the massage and not for eating while massaging?

I get where you're coming from now!

Yes, the bar is for massage, rubbing in, warming with your hands and relaxing your partner. And as part of that warm sensual experience you use the chocolate topping the same way (but sparingly) to include the smell of chocolate. And any transferred to the body can be slowly removed with your tongue.

And now I'm going to go & have a lie down.

Uhhh... communal… edible bath... good thing it isn't bathing suit optional… errr… Japanese fetishes… yikes…

What the hell? That's my wife! Hi, honey. Happy Valentine's Day. Sexy bath-time tonight!

The chocolate is ok but I'm not sure I want to be licking

Is it nasty-tasting Baker's chocolate or is there sugar in it too?

The description sounded like the ingredients for real chocolate. The link she put up isn't working and at the Lush homepage, that bar is gone, poof, disappeared.
Maybe they sold out for Valentines day.... or somebody ate one and the lawyers said get it off the site quickly.

... Damn that mouse of ours...

Hi Honey... I'd like to capitalize on your bath offer!

I'll bet you're not making fun of my mouse collection now.

I'm guessing it's inappropriate to bring to mind the tubgirl image at this point?

I hate Wacky Asian Pic day.

What the heck is that girl doing with the goggles? What does she think she will see down below?
