ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —
A New Mexico company is selling "bad" blue, meth-looking bath salts in honor of the AMC TV show "Breaking Bad." www.BathingBad.com
The Albuquerque-based Great Face & Body is selling a line of bath salts that look very similar to the pure meth sold on the drama show filmed in Albuquerque.
The bath salts come in 8-ounce plastic bags and are called "Bathing Bad" bath salts.
Co-owner Keith West-Harrison says he and his partner Andre came up with the idea last week.
"I just got an email from the UK saying, 'How much would it cost to ship me these?'" West-Harrison said.
He said the product is a mixture of cabbage, baking soda, salts and oils. It sells for $10 a baggie.
He said creating the product was all in good fun.
"We want to pay homage to the show," he said.
West-Harrison said a portion of the sales are going to a local domestic-violence project.
The move to sell the bathing salts influenced by the show follows a similar trend by others in Albuquerque. One candy store is selling "Breaking Bad" meth sugar candy and a doughnut shop is selling meth doughnuts with blue candy on top.
