Long before her box office success with 'Wuthering Heights', director Emerald Fennell dominated headlines following the release of her controversial thriller-comedy, Saltburn. Although the film, which stars Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan, was largely slated by critics, it found a huge fanbase on social media where many of the key moments were meme-ified and thoroughly dissected - from the shocking grave scene, to the hidden meaning behind the awkward, eggy breakfast.
But, if there's one scene that everyone will recognise from Saltburn, it's Barry Keoghan lapping up Jacob Elordi's bathwater. In fact, it became such a cultural moment that Etsy candles were made in the substance's honour. Although Barry didn't share details about it at the time, production designer Suzie Davies told Business Insider about how she created the concoction that Barry is seen slurping in the now iconic scene. In the interview in 2024, she stated that the solution used to act as Felix Catton's semen-infused bathwater was 'yoghurt and a bit of milk and some water'.
