Soap on a string.


I’m not sure of how many of you have actually seen this or used one of these things. Its just pastel colored animal shaped cheapy soap, which had a string, attached to it. Till just about an hour ago I thought it was an Indian thing. But then this Canadian colleague of mine told me that they had it there too.

Here’s the strange and stupid part:
The shape of the thing served no practical purpose whatsoever. The ones ive seen was a really ugly fish, and shell. To add to the idiotism of shape, the makers of this product decided to add string to the top of it. I still cant figure out why the heck I would need to hang my soap? Do I need to dry my soap? Or maybe it’s a wall ornament? Either ways I still wouldn’t hang it anywhere. The last thing I would need is a pink colored fish hanging around in my bathroom.

Speaking of color. The pale pastels of the soap, as mundane as it is, was the only thing that gave it some kinda soapy appeal. Not to mention the size of the dam soap. I thought dove and pears made some monster size soap. But this one takes the cake. I could easily used it as a blunt weapon if someone attacked me in my sink or bathroom. It had a string and everything to swing it around.

Conclusion:
Soap on a string is a carefully camouflaged weapon. To be used in the shower against unsuspecting bathroom killers. Imagine the scene from that classic movie psycho… if the woman had a soap on a string!
