Soap for sore eyes, I need an intermission

[venta]

Some time ago, someone gave me a Rituals Foaming Shower Sensation in White Lotus and Green Tea. It's the sort of ridiculous posh toiletry that I enjoy, but would never buy for myself. Having been forgetting to dig new shower gel out of the cupboard for weeks (and stealing ChrisC's in the interim, don't tell him) I broke it out this morning.

It's a dispenser basically like shaving gel, and on use it squirted out foam in the usual manner - lovely, creamy, beautifully-scented foam. Foam also bubbled out from under the lid, and I ended up with handfuls of the stuff. I put the can down to start actually getting showered, looked away from it... when I looked back, it was still busily disgorging foam. The entire corner of my shower had turned into an artistic sculpture of pouring white foam.

I joggled the cap (no difference). I pried the cap off (foam poured busily out of the hole in the top of the canister). I tried jamming the lid on again (it filled up with foam, popped off, and sailed away on a billowy white sea).

Soon I was shin-deep in White Lotus and Green Tea. So that really was a foaming shower sensation, but sadly now there is none left :(

You should write to them and tell them their can broke and left you with no shower gel, possibly enclosing the can. I had a thing of spray-on hair colour for a fancy dress thing years ago that did that, and my mum's patio ended up with one very green corner.

I have written to them, though via email so not enclosing the can. I'm interested to note whether they get back to me, since in my experience companies usually don't bother.
