4. California: No Oranges in the Bath
Eating oranges in the bath might sound relaxing, but in California, it’s against the law. Why? Some claim it’s due to the fear of a chemical reaction between citric acid and bath oils causing an explosion. While the reasoning seems outdated, the law remains! This quirky regulation, enacted in 1920, was aimed at preventing potential accidents in home bathtubs. Despite the law’s humorous nature, it’s technically still in effect, although rarely enforced. So if you’re tempted to snack on citrus while soaking, just be aware of California’s fruity bathing rules.
