What do you mean Ivory Soap doesn’t float any more?

Where is it made?

Target website says “Made in USA or imported”. The only new label image I can find with an origin says made in Colombia. I guess the other thing is the ingredients. I don’t see sodium tallowate now, which is just beef fat lye soap.
 
Wouldn’t the old Ivory be messy for those that bathe? I’m thinking it would have bits floating on the surface after scrubbing yourself.
 
I recall being in college and finding out the Ivory Soap mom (on the box) was in adult films.

I was always curious, if soap were dropped (in your own home) and it dents, is any ability to cleanse, lost?

That was Marilyn Chambers on Ivory Snow, which P&G sold as a laundry soap. But that was a long time ago and I think they cycled through different images.
 
As it was 99.44% pure, I used to worry what impurities were in the other 0.56%

I think when they came up with the slogan, that was pretty good for soap. You might get little bits of fat that wasn’t turned to soap and of course the perfume they used.
 
My favorite bar sudsing product is Safeguard. I'm on my last new bar. Is it still made? Although I like the way Coast bar sudsing product make my hands smell nice all day.
 
I used to be a hardcore user of Ivory soap but got tired of cleaning the mess it leaves behind in the shower. moved to Dr. Squatch stuff and never looked back. absolutely melts grease off after a day playing fleet mechanic and you can get all different smells/levels of grit.

Shouldn’t do that (or should be better) now that they’ve added tetrasodium EDTA. That’s an anti-chelating agent that prevents the soap from binding to hard water ions and then sticking to surfaces, which is what soap scum is. It’s pretty safe. It’s in contact lens solutions and all sorts of things that can be put into the eye or even taken internally. It’s one ingredient in most bathroom cleaners since it tends to dissolve soap scum.

i’ve moved on, i like the grit built into the squatch stuff. i get nasty working on rigs that see industrial oil field service and come out of the shower looking like i never lifted a wrench.

Someone sells Safeguard. I thought that Proctor & Gamble sold it off, but they still have it. No longer marketed as “antibacterial” though. They did sell their Coast brand. Also Zest.

I used to have a bar of Lava for that eventuality. Did feel like sandpaper though. Looked it up, and Lava is another former P&G brand, now owned by WD-40. I wonder how good it is cleaning off WD-40.

Found Coast on Amazon for a decent price. The Safeguard was priced at about a dollar a bar. I think I will get some of the Coast as mine is also about gone.
 
Ivory

Yes, Ivory is real soap and labelled as such.
However a perfect example I like to use is the American public thinks Breyers is Ice Cream. In fact supermarkets falsely advertise it as ice cream. They lost that designation a few years back as it no longer qualifies as Ice Cream by the US government and must be called "Dietary Dessert"
Breyers still sell stuff labeled "Ice Cream" and also various frozen dessert stuff not "classified" as Ice cream.

[But Big Oil can sell non synthetic oil as synthetic oil. Go Figure. Oh that's right, they "self regulate"]

The only product that I have eaten in the past decade that tastes like REAL dairy farm made or gourmet restaurant site made ice cream
is:

Van Leeuwen from those Brooklyn Dutch. Seek it out or be forever dissatisfied

Ingredients:​

cream, milk, cane sugar, egg yolks, Sicilian pistachios, sea salt.

This is what is in our supermarkets here and I suspect yours too.
You have to look at the label carefully, you will see nothing labeled IceCream. Notice the trickery involved. Next time you're in the supermarket pick it up and read the back. It will say "Frozen Dietary Dessert" At least in all these in this link below.
Nowhere on the front will you see IceCream (or on the back) The public is easy to fool.
That stuff you pictured is the real deal for sure!

Notice the words in their own webpage Ice Cream Flavors (NOT Ice Cream) and the products in all those photos make no reference to Ice Cream because it doesnt qualify as ice cream, it qualifies as a frozen dessert properly labeled on the back which no one looks at.
Even the words in the link, "Classic Dessert" its physiology 101

Does anyone actually buy soap in bars anymore?? 😵‍💫
Never bought any soap in a bar. Bought plenty of beer in one though 😁.

I use Ivory bar soap to clean delicate stuff like my glasses etc. due to clean, residue free finish. Showering I use a natural citrus based liquid body wash. Refreshing.

No, like i stated above, my local grocery store still sells Breyers Ice Cream. Not good ice cream but "legal" ice cream.

Unless I am missing something else?! I think not.

But most store bought ice cream is garbage loaded with gum thickeners and syrup.

I used to like Friendly's Chocolate toasted almond on a budget. A local brand I think.

Then they sold out and of course ruined that a couple years ago.'

A moving target down to the bottom. Just like Oil Filters!'
