At the W Hotel chain, the in-room soaps they use are by bliss. I’m not a soapaholic or anything, but I do enjoy the construction of their bar-of-soap product. The annoying habit of soap to slip around in the tub vanishes by design with the integrated feet on the bar’s bottom. Since I came across this design a year ago, it’s always stuck in my mind as a sort of anomaly. Of course soap dissolves, and thus the bar’s little feet dissolve with it. There’s something about its initial presentation as a can-do kind of design that instills immediate trust in spite of knowledge of the soap bar’s eventual demise. I wonder if there are other such cases.
