So, if you've ever dreamt of bathing in a tub full of Kentucky Fried Chicken, then oh boy, have we got news for you.

In what is possibly one of the more bizarre beauty/food combos to emerge in recent times, KFC Japan have created the ‘Chicken Smell Bathing Powder,’ that'll leave your skin smelling like Colonel Sanders himself.

Shaped like a drumstick for that authentic feel, the bath bomb is the result of a collaboration between the fast-food chain and Japanese retailer Village Vanguard – a company known for its unique bathing products.

Rather unsurprisingly, the product has received a bit of mixed reaction so far, with some Twitter users asking why the product was ever created in the first place:

Love it, or loath it – it's pretty unlikely you'll ever get your hands on one anyway. 

With just 100 of these bad boys in existence, they are not available to buy. 

Instead, you'll need to retweet the tweet below in order to be in with the chance to win. 

And if all else fails – just dump a few family sized buckets into the bath for the same effect.

Numerous reviews containing details about dangers posed to holiday-makers at some Mexican resorts have been deleted by TripAdvisor, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The popular travel and booking website has been accused of removing posts in which travellers shared their experience of assault, robbery and rape, after multiple comments mysteriously disappeared from a forum earlier this year.

When planning a trip to the Mexican resort of Riviera Maya, a woman from Indianapolis used the online forum to ask other users if the destination was a safe place for her and her husband to travel to.

Within minutes, comments began to roll in, and within 10 days, the post had received 55 replies in total.

24 users assured that couple that there was no need for concern and even detailed some positive experiences from recent trips.

“Just got back on Saturday and never felt safer,” wrote one user.

Another said: “I live close to St. Louis and feel much safer in Riviera Maya then I do going to a Cardinals baseball game”

Four of the comments failed to answer the question at all, while the other 27 were hidden from the public.

Instead, users were greeted with messages from the company informing them the that comments had been deleted because they were “determined to be inappropriate by the TripAdvisor community” or not “family friendly.”

The website has yet to comment on the allegations.

An Egyptian lawyer has come under fire after he suggested that women who wear revealing clothing, such as ripped jeans, deserve to be raped.

Nabih al-Wahsh, a prominent conservative, said it is a “patriotic duty” to sexually harass a girl who shows parts of her body in public.

According to Al Arabiya, he said: “Are you happy when you see a girl walking down the street with half of her behind showing?”

“I say that when a girl walks about like that, it is a patriotic duty to sexually harass her and a national duty to rape her.”

Adding: “Girls must respect themselves so others respect them.”

The shocking comments were made during a live television debate in which panel members were discussing a draft law fighting prostitution and debauchery.

Understandably, Mr al-Wahsh's statement has sparked outrage across the globe and Egypt’s National Council for Women have announced plans to file a complaint against the TV channel.

“All the members of the council denounce and decry this statement that explicitly promotes rape and sexual harassment,” it said in a statement.

According to reports, Al-Wahsh previously described Egypt’s National Centre for Women as a "suspicious den" responsible for the "spread of divorces" and the "destruction of Egypt."

The comments come after an international poll named Cairo as the most dangerous megacity for women to live in.

Every year, the showstopping piece of the show has to be the Fantasy Bra.

Iconic Angels like Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepole and Gisele Bündchen have all been tasked with wearing diamond and jewel-encrusted Fantasy lingerie on the runway, ranging in value from $1-15 million dollars.

This year's Fantasy Bra has finally been revealed, and it's prettier than ever. 

Decorated with vine-like jewelled embellishments and a drop-down necklace-style element, 2018's Fantasy Bra is one of the most striking yet. 

The stunning Lais Ribeiro has been awarded the honour of donning the $2 million bra this year. 

Lais, originally from Brazil, first walked for the brand back in 2010, and became a fully fledged Angel in 2015.

This will be her first time wearing the coveted Fantasy Bra. 

The model was stunned when she discovered that she would be wearing the Bra this year, after VS bosses surprised her with the announcement. 

Tricking her into thinking she was being hired for a regular Victorias Secret photo shoot for their new bralettes, the company waited until the last moment to spring the surprise. 

Now we're more excited than ever for this year's show.

There are a few things that are heavily associated with millennial: selfies, college debt, brunch and avocados. 

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen decided to pay homage to one of these millennial markers with her very distinctive (and adorable) Halloween costume.

Opting for a couples costume, Gisele and hubby Tom Brady went as our fave brunch combo avocado on toast.

Paying homage to the now cult combination, the couple scored major points for originality and relevance. 

'Happy Halloween!!! I can't resist an avocado,' reads the caption accompanying the snap. 

And only Gisele could literally wear a slice of toast and look fab.

However, we think their two kiddos would have looked super cute as a pair of poached eggs to compliment the look. 

Then again, Benjamin and Vivian looked adorable in the snaps shared by their Mum.

'I didn’t mean no disrespect.'

'You’d swear I was screaming at two people of the same sex kissing.'

Twitter have reacted en masse to the apology, and many feel it simply isn't good enough:
