Patent number: 6753303Abstract: A scented spa bath additive that when added to a spa produces the visual and sensual effects of sitting in a large cocoa bath. The additive is added to the hot water of a spa to produce a chocolate scent and a foaming sensation to provide the user with the sensation of sitting in a hot cocoa bath. The additive is a whipped cocoa bath that not only produces a pleasant chocolate scent, but also produces a bubbly foam that produces a long-lasting froth. Unlike the large bubbles normally produced in spas by adding just a cocoa powder, the whipped cocoa bath of the present invention produces bubbles have a surface tension that allows for a long life, so that the experience can be extended.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2002Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: Hershey Entertainment & Resorts CompanyInventor: Jennifer Wayland Smith
