Learning Something Everyday - June 2007

Fact: Ivory Soap

June 14th 2007 08:17

Ivory Soap was developed by James N. Gamble in 1879. It was originally going to be called P & G White Soap, but Harley Procter became inspired at a church service and came up with the name Ivory Soap. Approximately 40 billion bars of Ivory Soap have been sold since 1879. Ivory Soap is famous for the fact that it floats, and for years it was believed that this was due to a mistake made by an employee who mixed up a batch of extra frothy soap. Recent research, however, shows that James N. Gamble may have always intended for the soap to float. The slogan "99-44/100% Pure" was originated in 1882, and the first Ivory Baby appeared in 1886.

What's so good about it floating? Is there something special about this or simply novel.

Hi katyzzz

I myself have never own an Ivory Soap, but I suppose it's good that it floats for it doesn't allow water to sip into it and make it soggy before you fully used it at the end of the day.

Thank you so much for your comments and encouragement. ^_^

Have a blessed weekend
