Nice.

no idea what this is

It's Ivory soap, Galaxy.

Tom, it would be nice to have a description for those who might not be familiar with certain products or logos. Sometimes images that seem very obvious to you are not so obvious to others. :-)

guess that doesn't apply to you T :D

I use Ivory soap so I knew what it was even before I started solving it!

I guess the title threw me off.

I didn't know either, Galaxy, don't worry.

I didn't know either...

ditto 7 and 8...thanks Teresa

Ugh. The smell of Ivory makes me nauseated. I can't stand it.

I want a clean as real as Ivory; it's gotta be ninety-nine point forty-four :)

Proctor and Gamble wanted to come up with a soap that they could sell for less money, but still make more of a profit. So they decided to experiment with pumping it full of air, so there would be less soap in the bar. They tried it, but to their horror the stuff floated. They decided it was a complete failure, because everyone would know it was full of air and they wouldn't fall for it. Nobody would pay for air! But then the ad department got involved and came up with "So pure it floats" (as if floating has anything to do with purity) and the stuff sold. A century and a half later people are still paying for air!
