Twitter Thread Roasts Bathtub Tray Ads For Women

A bathroom tray advertisement prompted a slew of tweets from a woman who used dripping sarcasm set the record straight about what a woman’s bathtub time really looks like.

The advertisement that started it all seems to come from RoyalCraft Wood, a company that specializes in wood products. The ad depicts a woman gleefully sitting in a candlelit bathtub drinking both a latte and a glass of wine while a tiny flower pot rests on the tray.

“The people who manufacture bathtub trays seem to have no idea what women actually do in the bath and I find that strangely comforting,” Sharon Su wrote on Twitter, beginning a hilarious thread of all the bathtub tray ads that got it so very wrong.

You know it's not a complete bath without a glass of red wine, a tiny latte, and an empty mug. Ambience brought to you by a phone video of a woman playing a ukulele and a handful of rose petals where your undressed salad normally goes pic.twitter.com/yFkBPczJfK

As a woman, I enjoy painting my nails in the bathtub while simultaneously grabbing handfuls of cornflakes, reading about global warning, and watching people playing lady and the tramp with a giant sandwich pic.twitter.com/OlBddJn8xq

This company has figured out what women really want while bathing: half a bottle of j'adore perfume to continually spray while nomming on cherries and sipping an electric blue cocktail pic.twitter.com/TO5QblI48N

In short I have learned that I am apparently bathing all wrong and will rectify this immediately
