Stephen Shar is creating the world's largest bath bomb, specifically a Nerf-themed bath bomb. He begins by mixing a secret formula of citric acid, Epsom salt, and 10 boxes of baking soda. After adding olive oil and water, he creates two colors, orange and blue, to resemble a Nerf dart. He pours the mixture into molds and lets it dry, but the first attempt at creating a mega-sized bath bomb fails when it breaks. He then decides to make a huge bath bomb by combining the two colors and dropping it into a bathtub. The bath bomb explodes, creating a massive amount of bubbles and turning the water into a cold, dark bath. Despite some mishaps, Stephen is excited to perfect the formula and create an even bigger and cooler Nerf-shaped bath bomb in the future.
