Wolverine Soap

Even before a certain blade-wielding comicbook character pre-empted the name of "Wolverine," could it possibly have been a good idea to name your product after a vicious, pint-sized killer beast?

"Wolverine Soap--it will rip the dirt off your skin, and your skin with it!"

No wonder the pitchman in the ad below is working so hard to find sales reps.

"I now have a much better proposition then ever before - one that makes my agents more money adn I like it better myself."

I know I've seen that sales pitch before. Oh, yeah. AMWAY!

I have seen wolverines in the wild. They have a DON'T MESS WITH ME walk that puts pro wrestlers to shame.
