3 out of 5
This is my picture of my first bottle of Sonic Death Monkey that i took in 2006. Blurry, lol.
The name comes from a record store owner’s band name in the movie called ‘Hi Fidelity’ made in 2000.
The reason i rated this a 3 is because its too thin of a consistency for me. Anytime Lush has remade this in the Lush Kitchen, Retro, etc. Lushies, including myself, complain how thin it is. Its always been watery.
Also, i dont think it smells quite like chocolate. Its very sweet, and sweet with orange, lime, and tangerine.
It doesnt suck, but its not something i would buy if they started selling it in stores again. And im typically an orange freak, i love it so much, but not the case with sonic death monkey.
Here’s a demo and review i made on my youtube channel showing Sonic Death Monkey shower gel.
Ingredients: Coffee, Cocoa, Cerassie Infusion, Fresh Lime Juice, Perfume, Hemp Oil, Tangerine Oil, Orange Oil, Vanilla.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl Betaine,
These three Lush products in my photo below were made with the same scent.
It smells like Lush’ “Whipstick” lip scrub.
Its different than the discontinued chocolate and ginger shower gel “13 Rabbits“. I like 13 rabbits more, its more like real chocolate in scent and consistency than Sonic Death Monkey.

Lush 2006 Description: There are many chocolate shower gels in the world and most of them, frankly, are horrid. They are nasty, gimmicky, cheap, synthetic things which smell like market stall chocolate Christmas decorations – horrid, as we were saying. For a while we resisted, not wanting to be tarnished by such a tawdry image, then we thought to ourselves, “We can do better than that, much better!” so we did. (Actually Noriko did it.) Oh what gloriously gloopy, sensual stuff Sonic Death Monkey turned out to be. It has seaweed gel make your hair and body feel soft; it’s scented with chocolate orange and tones you up with fresh lime, Caribbean coffee and herbal tea. (It’s named after Barry’s band in High Fidelity.) Cover yourself in chocolate orange and dig that crazy gravy.
