Australia's take on The Bachelor is in full swing, complete with the least hygienic shared bath experience in the history of both bathing and chocolate consumption.

Ne'er before has the ritual of a soak in the tub been paired with the deliciousness of melted chocolate. There's a reason for that. Turns out it looks suspiciously like the aftermath of a traumatic colonic, as Twitter users were quick to point out.

The Bachelor contestant Alex won the much-screamed-about prize of a single date with the Aussie Bachelor Richie Strahan aka the washboard with legs. Producers threw caution to the wind and decided the date should culminate in a dip in a tub filled with melted chocolate. And it forced Twitter into a chocolatey meltdown.
