【inherent eroticism】

Toilet seats tend to be inherent eroticismvery uniform: the standard porcelain white. Snoresville.

So naturally, when one UK mum purchased what she thought was a bright blue toilet seat at IKEA, she was initially hesitant to introduce it into her powder room. But after considering it, she became super excited and showed it off to her daughter.

Her daughter, Amber, however, took a closer look at the label on the toilet seat and ruined her mom's dreams of a colorful commode.

Turns out that lovely blue hue was just the packaging on the toilet seat, as the sticker in the middle reveals.

Poor mum. But let's be real, who wouldn't get excited about the prospect of a bright blue toilet seat?

Other users shared their own stories of being fooled by brightly colored packaging.

The product description for the EKAREN toilet seat on the IKEA website says that it boasts hinges with "integrated dampers" so that the seat closes "slowly, silently and softly." Now if that's not enough to win the prospective toilet seat buyer over, I don't know what is.

Unfortunately, the EKAREN only comes in "white/high-gloss," which honestly is a shame.

Mum's got high-class toilet preferences and needs the bold color palette to match.
