Title: Collectible Game Controller Soaps?
Post by: oldgamerz on April 12, 2018, 12:01:32 am
If you had a bar of soap in the shape of a controller how would use it?  would it sit on your shelf? taking up space? or would you use it in a bath or shower? I am not sure how to answer this question though I would hate to ruin it. But if I really need some soap and if it was scented. although If I needed some soap I probably go with a normal bar of soap or body wash how about you?




This is not something new I know, I think controller soaps started with the Xbox controller shaped ones I think

This is up there with the weirdest topics we've ever had. 

...and that even tops Marv's "Off Topic" stuff.

They're an interesting novelty, but I can't imagine every actually buying them. It's too expensive for everyday use soap, and I can't fathom having a gaming themed bathroom where it would be an appropriate decorative soap.

I suppose if, someday, I own a home with a quarter-bath off of the game room, I might consider having some in there. It's not terribly likely, though.

This topic is meant for people to laugh. :) I first heard of the novelty soaps in a joke on YouTube quote someone made a joke about the Xbox Mountain Dew scented soaps as if Microsoft was to say their fans need to take more showers. I mean come on gaming soap? It's kinda hard to not joke about :D

I mean, how collectible can they be? Isn't soap biodegradable? So it will just rot away if you try to hold onto it, right?

A SMS controller has less buttons than the NES ones. I think aside from the black dye it'd be easier to make a soap out of.  ;)

I mean I guess if you wanna go above and beyond your love for a specific controller, you bathe yourself with it  :P

Those NES controllers remind me of the Hershey's Cookies 'n Creme bars.

I thought this thread was something totally different from the title. Holy hell was I thinking of something different.

Lol, like soap operas? I initially thought it was about a video game that had soaps bundled in (and how to catalog it in the database)...  :-[
