" O Memory! thou fond deceiver."Oliver Goldsmith
After seeing this cup on a shelf one day with my Mother, I remember.
The nice scum it would leave on your body after your Sunday bath just before the Ed Sullivan Show. You being the last person to sit in the gigantic metal tub after nine kids had bathed before.
The nice way it made your hair stand straight up after washing.
The wonderful taste of it, if you were silly enough to swear at your Mother.
Yes I know why my Mother keeps looking for it in the store.
"Yes Mother; it is a shame they no longer make it".
Later
You reminded me of many, uh, pleasant memories.
ReplyDeletePriceless!
ReplyDeleteOh my! My sisters and I still talk about this soap. In my home country it came in bars only, but my dad only used it to bath our dogs and they smelled so good after their baths. It's a smell I'll never forget :-).
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteI kinda miss a good old Lifebuoy bar of soap!
ReplyDeleteNine kids? the bath water had to have been getting bad! Too funny though! Good memories.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame. LOL. Way to bring back the past with a vengeance,
ReplyDeleteBeen there, in that tub after 8 siblings before me, just as I remember soap across my teeth...ouuu. Lifebuoy, Lava, all the same aweful taste.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure we had that at home when we were kids -- I remember the wrapper on the soap.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought about the scum on the water when I had to take the last bath. Oh my gosh so true. I hated that . :)

ReplyDeleteThis is a U.S. store but on the shipping info page it says you can call the number to inquire about shipping outside of the U.S.
