Only Los Osos would let something as creative as this emerge from a sewer project. Talk about making lemonade from lemons, here is—the Big Dig Soap! Yes, there are other commemorative bars; Ivory Soap did a 100-year special retro wrapper for its 100 year anniversary in 1979; there was John F. Kennedy Honey Fitz presidential yacht commemorative soaps; and a boxed set by Anona of King George V and Queen Mary circa 1935. None are remotely as cool as this one though!
Think about it though, "sewer" soap makes such good sense! We were all grimy from the months of trench digging and we NEEDED that soap!
I just learned about this from a friend who said that it was available at Volumes of Pleasure Book Shoppe in Los Osos. In fact, the soap was made especially for them. I do not know how long this soap has been available as I normally just stick with the books when I am in there. As of Saturday there were only two bars left! I do hope that more will be more forthcoming, as it is handmade, smells really delicious, comes in a very sweet and clever wrapper, and of course makes the most unique gift for those in the know. And it is a unconventional conversation starter for those who aren't.
Please call (805) 528-5565 to check for availability! (I would tell you about how foamy it is on the skin, but I can't bear to use it in case there are no more for sale!)
