'We do it in the winter we think it's a good time to get people out and about because we know we all love Erie, Pennsylvania but it is been a long winter.

Sydney Sweeney Explains Why She's Selling Used Bath Water Soap
Sydney Sweeney is a constant topic of discussion on social media, with much of it revolving around her relationship history, Instagram posts, red carpet appearances and movies. She's fought back against online trolls and turned heads at the Met Gala. However, it's likely that no one had her latest venture on their 2025 Bingo card. She's allowing a company called Dr. Squatch to sell soap infused with drops of her used bath water, and, yes, it's real. But why? Sweeney has now provided an explanation. "I honestly think it's a really fun, full-circle moment, because fans always joke about wanting my bath water…I was like, 'This is just such a cool way to have a conversation with the audience and give them what they want.' But then also hopefully encourage them to take care of themselves in a healthy way," she told GQ. Sweeney told GQ that she's tried the used bath water soap bar herself, saying, "I do have the bar. I actually took a shower this morning, and I have the bar and I used it." "It's super soft. It's really pretty, I'm looking at it right now. It's marbly and has blues and a little bit of brown in it," she added to GQ, saying of the Dr. Squatch photo shoot: "They had a tub for me. And I actually got in there and I took some soap, and we had a nice little bath and they took the water. So it's my real bath water. I wanted to have it lean towards my home roots, so there's this really outdoorsy scent of, like, pine and earthy moss and fir. So it smells super manly. But then there's some city bath water mixed in." The home page of the Dr. Squatch website calls the used bath water soap a "new and extremely limited edition" and "Sydney's bathwater bliss." The website provides a button and says, "Enter for a chance to win the only bricc made with Sydney Sweeney's very own bathwater." The company's TikTok says it's giving away 100 bars of the soap. According to TMZ, there are only 5,000 bars of the Sweeney Explains Why She's Selling Used Bath Water Soap first appeared on Men's Journal on May 29, 2025
