Prepare for your senses to be invigorated…Papa Johns has launched a limited-edition garlic bath bomb inspired by its iconic Special Garlic dip. Beloved by fans worldwide, the cult favourite flavour has been transformed, bringing a whole new meaning to ‘dip’ as garlic lovers can now dunk themselves into the special sauce…literally…
The announcement comes ahead of National Garlic Day, this Saturday (19th), and is in response to comments posted online from devoted fans; with one fan saying “love the garlic dip so much I’d bathe in it”, whilst another commented “I wanna smother myself in garlic dip“.
Whether you’re a pizza purist, opting for the traditional Garlic & Herb, or a cult-lover of Papa Johns unique Special Garlic dip, garlic-heads have truly put their money where their mouth is with 25.5 million garlic dips sold last year – including 3.6 million additional pots added to carts for those wanting an extra hit. In 2024 alone, the nation consumed enough Papa Johns’ garlicky pots to fill 6,375 average bathtubs!
When it comes to the UK’s most devoted fans, London had the most garlic dips flying out the door, with over 800,000 orders opting to add extra dip for the ultimate pizza pleasure.

Adam Wilcock, Research & Development Director at Papa Johns, said:
“There’s a lot of love for our Special Garlic dip, and when we started to see comments on our social channels around how much people are obsessed with it and how far they’d go, we thought we’d help them and see just how devoted they really are. One thing we can guarantee is that our garlic bath bombs will definitely give them a garlicky fix that lasts…”
