I very much like these cakes of soap in the shape of immature humans' hands. A bag of them will set you back $20.
Creep everyone out in your guest bathroom. Each soap is shaped like a little hand! The soaps range from 1/2” to 2”.LinkYou will get at least 10 hands (at least/about 100 grams of soap). This soap is made from goat’s milk and vegetable glycerin with a light scent. Your hands come packaged in a pretty bag…all ready for gifting to a friend with dirty paws!
My daughter earned this spinning top for selling wrapping paper in a school fundraiser. It plays the theme from Beverly Hills Cop and draws a laser circle on the floor. Thirty years ago the technology in this toy would have cost $100,000.... More.

so gross! right up there with the baby cake http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFx2hSkuWk8 (that i could have sworn also came from BB but i can't find the link right now...)
makes it look that much bigger?
.. Am I the only one thinking Nazi Germany right away?
Eww. Like a pedophile's dream: "Give me baby hands to touch me!"
Something disturbing there is about that. The hands bear a certain verisimilitude to real hands. I think the default impression that the brain has when it lights upon a disemodied hand or limb is to automatically register the idea that it has been severed.
This is almost unbearably awesome.
Comments 2,3,4 -- Yikes. I'm glad my mind didn't take those sad trajectories when I saw these soaps.
Holy cow! Thanks Boing Boing! We have sold out, but we are getting more soap in soon!

Honestly, I find them a little scary too. Like all these creepy crawly hands reaching for you!
But if you're a little kid, needing to wash your hands, how strange and yet comprehensible.
...There's a lot of pervs out there who are just going to go apeshit over this one. It'll be their equivalent of a phallic soap-on-a-rope!
For all the people immediately jumping to conclusions about pedophiles wanting this soap-- I'm not sure that's how it works. I'm a heterosexual female. If there is soap shaped like detached male hands, am I going to be automatically aroused by this?
That said, I think they're creepily cool.
You could always buy them from this etsy seller as well, although they appear to be low on stock too.

i'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new handsoap - these are fantastic....quite beautiful....yes, obviously, a conversation piece, but most notably, the seemingly very few of us who can appreciate art CAN and DO recognize this as an artpiece. It will not be rubbed on my nipples, it will not be going in my "poopshoot" and it certainly will not entertain thoughts of pedophelia. THIS IS AN ARTPIECE you morons. I guess it just didn't occur to me, as a sculptor myself, that there were so MANY morons who simply cannot or do not appreciate ART. And by the way....have any of you actually read a book lately?
