Pet Fish in a bag soapThis Fish in a Bag soap looks just like the fish you can win at fairgrounds but it is actually a cleverly disguised soap. The fish, which are available in five separate colours, is plastic and is suspended in a clear, scentless vegetable based glycerin soap that resembles water.

This could be a handy purchase for parents who are teaching their children about personal hygiene. And, if you child has also been nagging on for a pet you could kill two birds with one stone. Simply have them wash their hands using the “magic fish water” and then look totally surprised when the fish just lays there, lifeless.

A quick flushing of the fish down the toilet and a chat about death and your child will not only have clean hands but they would have also have learned the meaning of mortality.

Life’s a bitch, isn’t it.

You can purchase the Fish in a Bag Soap for $6.50 from this site.

    I think that it is bad advice to “flushing of the fish down the toilet”, a plastic toy, infront of the child. Not because of the life-death discussion, but becasue they may think flushing toys is okay or flushing animals is okay.

    I took it as this person was being sarcastic and joking, but many may take this advice literally

    Hi John.

    I take your points, of course, but, with respect, I was hardly dispensing advice in any shape or form, and I think it’s abundantly clear that the post is both flippant and jovial in tone.
