In a daring mix of humour and insight, Sydney Sweeney has highlighted a striking gender double standard in the public reaction to her novelty bathwater soap.
Sweeney's limited-edition soap, 'Sydney's Bathwater Bliss', made with her own used bathwater in collaboration with Dr Squatch, debuted in May 2025, selling out almost instantly. While the soap, infused with exfoliating sand, pine bark extract and an outdoorsy scent, provoked sharp criticism online, the response from netizens revealed an ironic twist.
