I was telling my grandsons about the floating soap that we used to buy for bath nights, the problem was that I could not remember the name of it. They did a Google and came up with the history, that it was made as far back as the 1800s. The most prominent name was "SWAN" but that is not the name that I am trying to recall.
HELP can anyone remember the name ???.

Palmolive® soap, originally manufactured as a floating soap then there was Ivory
For more than 75 years, legend has indicated that one of Ivory’s most famous features – its ability to float – was actually the result of a mistake!

Ruins the old 'nun' joke about 'where's (sic) the soap?' though!

pears had air bubbles in it?

Just read an account from the second world war which states that Sylvan soap was a flake soap and Swan was a floating soap — as was (still is) Ivory soap made by Proctor and Gamble.
