I never made fake whipped cream. I must have missed something. Take care and stay cool. Hi Mary, I guess that explains soap that floats. I never made fake whipped cream.

That's why we liked soap that floats. It didn't matter if it was good soap, or if it smelled. It floated. The other soaps, now, sink right to the bottom and you can't find them. But who takes a BATH anymore, anyway. I haven't taken a BATH in years! HAHAHA I can still smell that soap, too. It was good stuff. How they made it float, I haven't any idea. I have never understood the significance of the two bathtubs. Agreed--wouldn't they want to be more intimate? I love the old ads. Ivory Snow Flakes was great if you wanted to make FAKE whipped cream, too. I wasn't a mean kid, really. I just remember other kids doing this...

I remember the Ivory ads, too, but I never could figure out why anyone wanted soap that floats. Joye, those Gecko ads sure seem to be popular.

In the 1900s, shop owners had such a hard time trying to figure out how to display feminine products, Kotex held a special meeting to discuss the problem. I don't like dumb commercials, either.

I never thought about it, but you're right. Separate baths isn't very romantic. Take care! CateS: Thanks for giving me a laugh (and we sure do need it today).
