Apparently it wasn’t mold, but it doesn’t seem to have made it any safer.

“It grows its own fur!”
Big deal. So does the stuff at the back of the fridge.

What couldn’t Fuzzy Wuzzy soap do?
Be swung at your brother like some Medieval weapon during a tiff in the bathtub?

I had one of those. It was a cat which contained a plastic mouse.

My dad, who grew up in the 60’s, used to say “Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear”, when I was a kid, and I never knew what he was talking about.

Yeah. File this alongside aspic under “space-age domestic products from the 60s that are skin-crawlingly grotesque.”

I owned this. I bathed in it. I couldn’t wait to see the skin grow moldy…
(Fuck the toy)
Now, later in life, I look daily upon my soap, pining to experience what life can still offer…
Don’t take this memory from me…

Me too, a vague memory of the bear…
I can’t believe my mother let me have it.
