This Hamburger Soap is Topped with All the Fixings to Get You Clean

— September 1, 2011 — Lifestyle
This Hamburger Soap is the most enjoyable -- and unusual -- way for one to get squeaky clean in the shower. The soap, which was created by a Boston-based soap maker Melin, is comprised of five hamburger pieces that come together to create a very unique set of soaps. Close attention to detail has been paid to produce a very realistic-looking hamburger; from the small seeds on the buns and tomato to the bumpy ground beef patty.

The Hamburger Soap also contains special ingredients to make its scent comparable to that of a real hamburger. The buns have been enhanced to smell like fresh French bread and the patty, lettuce and tomato to smell like bacon. The Hamburger Soap is certainly one of the more bizarre ways to get clean.

Implications - Many members of society experience feelings of restlessness and fatigue from the market's constant influx of generic products. Businesses that enhance an everyday item by adding a modern twist or unusual characteristics will benefit by providing relief for these individuals.
