"soap" news and stories

Last week, I wrote about Bill Bramanti, the man who bought a Pabst Blue Ribbon coffin. This week, I discovered Pabst Blue Ribbon soap. If Bill does not own this soap, he needs some now! Etsy seller Dennis Anderson says of the soap, "It's fun, lathers beautifully, and wont leave you with a 'Cheap Beer' hangover in the morning."

For those who don't want to go the cheap beer route, Dennis also features a Guinness soap with a very important warning: "DO NOT attempt to eat or drink this soap! You will not get a buzz, you will get a major tummy ache and be blowing bubbles for a week."

What beer would you like to bathe with?

I'm embarrassed to admit, but ever since I was little, I've had a thing for deliciously-scented bath products. I've never been a make-up person, and I'd take slacks over a skirt any day of the week. But give me a passion fruit-guava bath and shower gel, and I'm all over it. Working at a bath and body store in high school only compounded this addiction.

Because I'd like to think of myself as a connoisseur of food-scented bath products, I can't be bought off with any old strawberry bubble bath or vanilla body spray. Heavens, no. I spring for the unique, the out-of-the-ordinary, the extraordinary. Exotic fruits and unusual pairings make for some fantastic soapy products. Go ahead, take a peek, and then pick up some confectionery concoctions just in time for Valentine's Day. But I have to warn you: when the bottles are empty, the withdrawal symptoms set in, so make sure you stock up.
