Why should kids settle for clear water when they can have royal blue or blood red waves lapping around them? They can choose one of six different crystalline colors or mix and match to find their own. The tints dissolve in warm water to make bathing a more colorful experience.

— “Tub tints are very popular,” noted Marian Anderson, store manager of Next Generation of Stoughton in Stoughton, Wisc.
—Parents don’t have to worry about these tints staining the tubs, assured Elin Kabo, director of communications for Alex.
—Crystal Tints were launched in 2004 and were on the top-ten list of 6 out of 11 stores.
