LONDON -- We've all felt that tiny rush of excitement when the word "Oh?" flashes up while playing Pokémon Go. Your efforts have finally paid off and you're about to get a bundle of Pokémon joy delivered straight to your Pokédex.

But what if you didn't have to worry about taking all those steps? What if you could hatch an egg by dropping it in your bath? While it might not be possible to do that in the app, you can now do it IRL. One woman has created a Pokémon egg bath bomb that will not only fill your bath tub with lovely scents and fizz, it'll also hatch a plastic Pokémon toy.

"Our bombs are made with natural grape-seed oil and shea butter to leave your skin soft and glowing, as well as epsom salts to soothe achy muscles and joints," reads the product's description on Etsy.
