Sydney Sweeney is literally selling her dirty bathwater
'I honestly think it's a really fun, full-circle moment.'
If you’re one of the people incapable of being normal about Sydney Sweeney, your day has come, you little freak.
Sweeney, 28, has teamed up with Dr. Squatch, an all-natural soap brand (that once let Nick Cannon make testicle jokes while reminding us he has enough children to fill a minor league baseball roster), to literally sell her dirty bathwater.
It’s a brilliant move from the actress, who people on the Internet so relentlessly sexualise, her breasts became a contentious political symbol last year.
Dr. Squatch’s latest collaboration with the Euphoria star is a limited-edition bar soap infused with pine bark extract, sand, moss, and – yes – actual droplets of Sweeney’s bathwater.
It smells like a hike through the Pacific Northwest, with the added existential thrill of knowing it contains a barely detectable trace of the actress you’ve accidentally developed a weird parasocial crush on.
Last fall, she starred in a cheeky ad for the brand, lounging in a tub and whispering sweet nothings like ‘dirty little boys’ directly into the collective male subconscious.

But rather than recoil in horror, she leaned in and released the bar of soap.
‘I honestly think it’s a really fun, full-circle moment,’ Sweeney said. ‘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.’
Sweeney credits her outdoor-loving, Pacific Northwest upbringing for keeping her grounded amid the AWOOGA eyes of the internet.
The product is called Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss (Picture: Dr. Squatch)When she’s not filming or doing press, she’s jet-skiing, building treehouses, or doing anything that doesn’t involve social media – or knowing what Reddit is saying about her.
Of course, this could all be part of a new era in celebrity hygiene. If this sells out, we’re only one step away from Zendaya deodorant, Pedro Pascal cologne, and a Saltburn-themed line of beverages that we should absolutely not talk about ever again.
In the meantime, if you’re looking for a soap that smells like fresh pine, rugged adventure, and just a splash of meme-fueled insanity, Sydney Sweeney’s got your back. And maybe your loofah, too.
