9. It's something folks put in their baths to make the water fizzy and colorful and fragrant.

They are kind of a luxury for some.

I think they are silly.

I don't want colors and oils and glitter in the bathtub.

I don't like scrubbing the tub! It's my unfavorite chore.

But baking soda and citric acid can clump together and be formed into a solid "pac" or ball.

That's why I keep the washing soda and citric acid separate until I'm ready to use them.

If I were more industrious I could make my own "pacs" using a silicone mold. But..nah.
