When I was in prison, they only let us use [liquid soap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-x-dr-squatch) because we were always carving up the [bar soap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flamin-hot-bricc-soap) into shivs. Now I realize they hired the best soap carvers and some state pen is making a fortune selling Ghetto brand soap.

I think I’ll add this to my knuckle coffee cup, my trigger coffee cup and my brass knuckle umbrella. A fella just can’t be too careful these days.

**Implications** - In a day and age where the Internet can connect consumers to special forms of any household products, a company would be wise to invest in [novelty influenced body care products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/so-clean-you-can-kiss-it). By adding an element of humor to a part of life that is often humorless, the company shows a strong sense of humor and a willingness to be cutting-edge.
