This girl got stuck in her own bathtub after using too much coconut oil, and the internet helped with the saga
It’s no secret that coconut oil is pretty much the G.O.A.T. when it comes to mixing up home beauty remedies. Not only is it super moisturizing — one tablespoon is filled with enough health benefits to last you for a life time. But for one Imgur user, coconut oil had a little too much slip and not enough grip.
Imgur user “denshan” mixed a little too much of the oil into a soothing bath one evening, and found herself stuck in the tub a lot longer than anticipated. She took to the social platform to share her experience, receiving equal parts helpful advice and jokes.
Denshan eventually escaped her coconut oil trap by refilling the tub and using a bit of closet cleaner.
"I've go a chest infection and some fever so I'm home sick," denshan wrote on Imgur. "Took some antibiotics and a Valium and thought, 'I will have a relaxing bath.' Lit some candles and poured in some coconut oil — now I am realising it was too much coconut oil."
And things got real once she tried to exit the tub.
"I just slide around like a giant greased up potato in a roasting dish," she continues. "There is no traction. No grip."
This totally could’ve ended badly for denshan, but we’re so happy it didn’t. Let this be a lesson to all of you aspiring DIYers!
