IVORY TO CREATE GIANT UNCLE SAM OUT OF SOAP
IVORY TO CREATE GIANT UNCLE SAM OUT OF SOAP
WASHINGTON (Wireless Flash) American patriotism will be bubbling up in Washington D.C. next Wednesday (Oct. 24). Thats when a soap sculptor will be carving a gigantic Uncle Sam statue out of a 6-foot-high by 4-foot-wide block of Ivory soap. The huge soap block was specially created at the Ivory plant in Cincinnati using a crate-sized mold and the equivalent of 44,000 bars of soap. The end result is a block that weighs more than 12,000 pounds but is still 99 and 44/100ths pure. The soap-sculpting is being done to celebrate Ivorys donation of thousands of old print ads to the Smithsonian.
