Ivory soap

 

[Mk]

Ivory soap

w00t! That HAS to be it.

Ivory is a bar soap which is one of the best-known products of the Procter & Gamble Company. It is whipped with air in its production so that it floats in water. The soap was made to float only after a worker accidentally left the mixing machine on for too long. The company decided to use the supposedly ruined material and hoped that the buying public wouldn't notice, but after they got so many fan letters, they decided to switch to the new recipe!

 

[JamesU]
