Sydney Sweeney says girls who loved Jacob Elordi's bathwater slammed her racy side hustle; hints Euphoria co-star's Saltburn scene inspired her soap
Sydney Sweeney has found herself in not one, but two controversies in recent months. Before the Euphoria star grabbed headlines with her American Eagle ad that drew heavy backlash, she was already at the centre of heated conversation over her racy side hustle. Earlier this year, Sweeney partnered with men's grooming brand Dr. Squatch to launch a limited-edition soap made with her own bathwater. Branded Sydney's Bathwater Bliss, the bar drew criticism but still sold out in seconds. Now, in a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, Sweeney opened up about the frenzy and how closely she tracks the public's reaction to her work. Also read: Can't we say 'good genes' anymore? The backlash to the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad explained Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, her first interview in months, Sweeney explained that fans had been jokingly asking her for her bathwater online, and instead of ignoring it, she thought it would be interesting to turn it into an actual product. 'I's important to have a finger on the pulse of what people are saying, because everything is a conversation with the audience.' She described it as 'weird in the best way' and said the soap not only turned heads but also worked just like other Dr. Squatch products. Also read: Sydney Sweeney faces backlash at Americana premiere over controversial American Eagle jeans ad: 'It's racist'. Watch In the same interview, Sweeney hinted that her bathwater soap was sparked by Jacob Elordi's viral Saltburn moment. In the 2023 film, there's a popular scene where Barry Keoghan's character drinks Elordi's bathwater, a moment that blew up online, sparked countless memes, and even inspired a candle called Jacob Elordi's Bathwater that fans couldn't get enough of. Sweeney saw the frenzy and the idea, but when she put out her own version in soap form, the backlash was instant, especially from women who flooded her comments with criticism. Speaking to the outlet, Sweeney said, 'It was mainly the girls making comments about it, which I thought was really interesting. They all loved the idea of Jacob Elordi's bathwater.' The soap was made with ingredients like sand and pine bark extract, mixing it with her bathwater. Only 5,000 bars were made, priced at $8 each. Some fans found it hilarious and harmless, joking that 'at least it might make men shower,' while others felt it was too much. But that wasn't the only campaign of hers that rubbed people the wrong way. This summer, she was featured in a major American Eagle ad built around the line 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' The slogan played on the words 'genes' and 'jeans,' but it didn't land well. Critics accused the campaign of glorifying her white traits, blue eyes, and slim frame as the beauty ideal, with some even tying the tagline to old eugenics language. A few went so far as to brand it 'Nazi propaganda.' American Eagle defended the ads, insisting the message was strictly about the denim, but the backlash blew up online and even drew comment from Trump's camp, where communications manager Steven Cheung slammed it as 'cancel culture run amok,' and Trump himself supported her. When asked about the controversy in a recent interview, Sweeney dodged the question.

Nagpur Gears Up For Marbat Festival, 140-Year Tradition That Lights Up Tanha Pola
1 2 3 4 5 6 Nagpur: The city, especially the old areas, are once again in a festive mood as citizens prepare for the grand spectacle of the Marbat Festival, a tradition that has thrived for well over 140 years. Celebrated the day after Pola, known as Tanha Pola, the festival returns this Saturday with towering effigies, age-old chants, and vibrant processions that are set to capture the city's attention. While artisans put the final touches on the towering effigies of Pili Marbat and Kali Marbat, the bustling lanes of Sitabuldi, Itwari, and Budhwari are packed with crowds buying festival essentials. Among the most eye-catching sights are the colourful wooden bulls, neatly lined up, attracting children and families alike. These toy bulls, painted in bright hues with intricate detailing, have been a traditional part of Pola for generations. Even the small mud idols of bulls are visible in the market, used on Motha Pola for worshipping at homes. "Every year, children eagerly wait for these bulls. Prices start from a few hundred rupees and go up to nearly a lakh depending on the size and craftsmanship," said Ramesh Shivare, a toy seller from Itwari, who has been in the business for over three decades. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He added that despite changing times, the charm of wooden bulls has not faded, as families continue to buy them as keepsakes for their children. Another vendor, Sunita Tai, who set up her stall at Budhwari, said the season is always special. "The bigger bulls are bought by collectors or families who want to keep them as decorative pieces at home, while smaller ones are always popular with children. These toys remind people of Nagpur's roots in farming traditions, and buyers feel connected to that heritage." Interestingly, this year, even bronze bulls were also seen in the market. The Marbat celebrations themselves are equally steeped in history. The Kali Marbat, introduced in 1881, and the Pili Marbat, which followed in 1885, form the heart of the tradition, which is crafted by the Tarhane Teli community. Towering effigies — often reaching up to 20 feet — are built and worshipped before being paraded through the city. In recent years, newer additions such as the Laal Marbat and a growing number of Badgyas, or smaller effigies prepared by different communities, have expanded the festival's canvas. These often carry social messages, from awareness about pollution to commentary on governance based on the latest issues of the time. On the day of Tanha Pola, the processions wind through the historic lanes of old Nagpur, accompanied by chants of 'Ida pida gheun jaa ge Marbat', a collective plea to the deities to take away all troubles and evils. The grand finale comes when the effigies are consigned to flames at designated sites like Naik Talao and Harihar Mandir, symbolically burning away negativity and ushering in prosperity. With prayers already underway and markets in full swing, Nagpur is set to witness another unforgettable chapter of the Marbat Festival — a celebration that blends devotion, tradition, and community pride.
