I really don't get it! My Facebook feed is full of people moaning about being in an online queue or declaring they've been lucky enough to get on the site.
It's only soap?! Whatever they've done to create this hype is admirable!
Have I missed something? Do they turn you into insert name of drop dead gorgeous celeb if you bathe in their products?
IIRC the bath bombs are only about £4 anyway?!?!!

Hysterectical - my thoughts exactly.

pregnantat50 · 26/12/2016 18:04

Hate Lush and got more of it than I would ever want for Xmas. I'm using it to stink out freshen up the shoe cupboard Xmas Wink.

neveradullmoment99 · 26/12/2016 18:06

I really dont get it either. You would be quicker going to a shop! I agree, its only soap Confused

Bobsmum02 · 26/12/2016 18:06

99,730 in the queue in front of me...I don't even have words for how ridiculous that is!!

SausageSoda · 26/12/2016 18:06

What does this online queue malarkey mean? I can't buy anything until the 98,000 people infront of me have bought?

No thanks.

neveradullmoment99 · 26/12/2016 18:07

98972

DollyPlastic · 26/12/2016 18:07

It's all hype.

DonutParade · 26/12/2016 18:07

I loved them when they were CTG, in the 90s they had the best smelling bubble bath at Christmas, don't recall what it was called but it was amazing.

neveradullmoment99 · 26/12/2016 18:08

It means:

Your estimated wait time is: more than an hour

er..no thanks!

Starlight2345 · 26/12/2016 18:11

98716..

Wait over an hour..

Really not that bothered... though staying int he queue out of curiosity

ChickenPoop · 26/12/2016 18:12

You would be quicker going to a shop!

I'm a 7 hour flight away but at this rate you might still be right 😂

uncoolnn · 26/12/2016 18:14

I'm number 90517 Confused
I do love lush but I'm not sitting for an hour for a bloody bath bomb!

Giselaw · 26/12/2016 18:15

I love their stuff and as they only have a genuine sale once a year, it's great to pay half price for stuff I'll use for he next six months.

So sorry my penny pinching and saving offends thee!

pregnantat50 · 26/12/2016 18:17

it says you can close the page but are still in the queue, is that true

pregnantat50 · 26/12/2016 18:17

chocolateworshipper · 26/12/2016 18:18

I have a very poor sense of smell, yet even I can't bear the stench coming our of a Lush shop. Can you imagine working there?!

FoxMulder · 26/12/2016 18:18

Oh bugger, I knew there was somewhere i meant to check out the sales! Too late now!

ChickenPoop · 26/12/2016 18:18

I just opened a second browser and was closer to the front of the queue... It's a bastarding scam queue!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 26/12/2016 18:23

ACM is it back??? Shock and hooray!!!!! I can end my boycott now.

Starlight2345 · 26/12/2016 18:24

I just did the same your right.

RNBrie · 26/12/2016 18:25

Chicken poop - it puts a cookie on your computer so if you open another browsing window it's the same queue just refreshed so it's showing you move up the queue. I don't know if it's a scam but I'm finding it really hard to believe 87,000 people are all trying to get on the site right now!!

daisypond · 26/12/2016 18:27

I pity the staff who have to work in Lush just because of the intensity of the smell.
