February 13, 2007: Chocolate baths

Undertoad · 02-13-2007, 12:49 PM

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:

Quote:

The water in the bath is mixed with cacao and fragrant bath powders while chocolate in its liquid form is poured over the bodies of the bathers. Couples can have fun smearing the chocolate over each others' bodies or lick it off.

Ewwww. That would be licking off chocolate that's been flowing around naughty bits and between toes and stuff. Yuck!

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

Apparently "hot springs spa resort" is Japanese for "public swimming pool."

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

That was my first thought, too....BUT...I re-read the article and interpret it to mean the water is water with chocolate in it, but they POUR melted chocolate over the people and the people can lick it off themselves (and have to do so before the chocolate dribbles into the water) thereby the chocolate is chocolate until it gets into the water with the other general naughty bits.
Don't drink the water.

I agree. They have more of a "what the hell have we gotten ourselves into?" look on their faces.

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.
