Timothy Barton: 5:24pm Dec 6, 2005: So you're saying I need to say something like "ordinary pearls and bubbling pearls"? - cello: 6:45pm Dec 6, 2005: Tim, perlas are quite small, about the size of a marble and the bolas are about the size of a tennis ball. As bcandilgarcia points out, pearls are oily (and burst when put into water) whereas these balls are usually powdery and fizz when put into water. -
Explanation: Fizzy bath balls which dissolve into bath, bath pearls contain oils, not quite the same thing, and i should know, i am quite an expert in bubble baths! :P

Explanation: Hola Timothy,
Me parece que las "bolas burbujeantes" también conocidas como "bolas de baño efervescentes" no son lo mismo que las perlas (pearls).
Puedes ver el enlace en español con una descripción de las mismas.
Buena suerte y saludos del Oso ¶:^)
