Wynwood is getting a giant inflatable poop emoji so get ready for the caca selfies

Poo-pourri is known for its cheeky ads for its citrus scented product that you are meant to spritz before you, um, go.

To promote the popular spray, the Texas based company has launched a poop pop-up, and it’s coming to Miami as part of a stop on its #LetThatGo 22-city tour.

When: Super Bowl weekend, of course.

That’s right, locals. Instead of posing outside of Hard Rock Stadium and looking cool, you can do do something a lot less glamorous.

Your Instagram feed can be lit up with a pic of you standing inside a 30-foot high inflatable pile of giant ca-ca at Wynwood Marketplace Jan. 30-Feb. 2. Take that, Slime City.

So what is it, exactly?

“The Giant Poo is a free experience encouraging attendees to drop the toxic crap they’ve been holding in,” reads a release.

In all seriousness, Poo-Pourri Founder & CEO Suzy Batiz said the 18-and-over experience allows for individuals to release toxic vibes while chilling inside the brown blow-up, modeled after an adorable poop emoji and outfitted with A/C.

“We take worry about bathroom odor off of the table. With our product you can confidently let it go,” she said. “Now, imagine if we could all let go of the other crap we hold in. The s*** that is toxic to our beings and takes up space and energy that could be used for better things.”

For those unable to attend the Giant Poo or are too embarrassed to be seen near it, Poo-Pourri created an interactive version at GiantPoo.com.

In this online experience, you travel through a colon, then click onto a toilet, type in the stinky thing you want to get rid of in your life (like your cheating ex) and flush it down!

At the end of the message, Poo-Pourri tells you, “Congratulations, Pooperstar!” and you feel instantly awesome.

“After identifying and releasing toxic thoughts through the digital platform, users can share on social that they’ve just lightened their load.” Or not.
