Good morning
. . . . . Didja Know?
Woodbury Soap was the first product to show a nude woman in its advertisements. The year – 1936
The photo by Edward Steichen showed a rear full-length view of a woman sunbathing - wearing only sandals

Didn't the Woodbury jingle go like this???

♪♭♫ Oh I wish I was a little piece of soap.
Oh I wish I was a little piece of soap.

I'd go slippery, slippery slimy
over someone's little hiney,
if only I was a little piece of soap
.♩♬♪

Personally I'm sticking with the Starbucks logo. She's my kind of gal.

Woobury was ahead of it's time.



This is the photo used as a base for some of their advertising


Apparently the photos used in the ads are worth a bit of money
WOODBURY SOAP ADVERTISEMENT sold by Sotheby's, New York, on Wednesday, October 03, 2001

I remember Camay, Lifebuoy and Palmolive soap but I had forgotten all about Woodbury.

However, I don't remember the nude woman in their advertising. I led such a sheltered life.
