Wask Studio, the shop that has been creating bizarre and quirky gifts since 2017, has just launched a bar of soap that starts off happy but gets sadder as it shrinks. It's called the 'Sinking Feeling' soap.
The soap features a happy look first, then neutral, and ends off with a sad look. It contains layers within it, so as you wash away the soap, you will eventually rub away the layers to reveal the next mood. There are 6 layers that start from the outwards to the middle - so both of the outer faces of the soap start off happy. Since the soap has so many layers, it takes quite a while to create it from various molds.
The Sinking Feeling soap is available to purchase online.
