This might make the Easter Bunny toss his jelly beans.

A video of a content creator dyeing Easter eggs in her toilet bowl went viral this week, and the dirty dye job appalled many, who deemed it egg-traordinarily unsanitary.

In the clip, posted Wednesday and racking up 3 million views by Saturday, Minnesotan Kate Heintzelman fills her toilet bowl with two dozen eggs and lines its rim with bottles of food coloring and then proceeds to squirt the colored liquid into the bowl.

She then sprinkles in baking soda and pours in a gallon of vinegar — and the eggs magically turn into tie-dye looking creations ready for Easter on April 20.

Heintzelman, 32, who has close to half a million followers on her Instagram handle @katewilltryanything, told The Post she got the half-baked idea after an egg-dying mishap in her kitchen.

“I wanted to make the eggs really cute and I tried it earlier with vinegar and the baking soda and it exploded all over my counter and I thought I turned it red,” she said.

“So I said, ‘I’m just going to do it in the toilet because I don’t care if that gets stained.’”

Commenters soon chimed in.

“This is the reason I don’t eat potlucks.”

“You’ll be the reason we have a new virus.”

The official Instagram handle for Eggo waffles said, “Now Kate …”

Heintzelman, of Christian faith, was taken aback by the controversy she created — and pleaded egg-norance.

“I didn’t know that people ate their Easter eggs,” she said. “We’ve never eaten them. We do them for decoration; they just sit on the counter.”
