If you’ve been wondering what could get your kids to wash their hands more often (incessant nagging aside), perhaps the lure of cash will do the trick. This holiday season Bits and Pieces is offering one of the stranger stocking stuffers I’ve seen: a pear-berry soap, where each bar feels like winning the lottery! Rolled up in each bar is either a $1, $5, $10, $20 or $50 dollar bill. Of course, you’ll have to do plenty of scrubbing up to get to the prize inside. Individual Money Bars cost $14.99, and are available here. Link via Popgadget.

This sounds awfully similar to Soapy Smith’s “prize package soap sell swindle,” as seen in/on Deadwood the mining camp/TV show.

this stuff has been around for a few years now (possibly a different brand though). if the kids are smart, they’ll do what my sister and I did when we were given soaps with some sort of toy in them (I can’t remember what it was). we took a butter knife and cut the soap in half, freeing the prize.

Yeah, what retard would wait for a nanosecond before chopping that bitch in half and taking your winnings down to 5 & Dime for some licorice whips and pinwheels? Whoever actually washes to get the cash out is a DUMMY!!!!!
