I have no idea why this product from my childhood randomly popped into my thoughts this morning.
I vaguely recall being allowed to get Fuzzy Wuzzy soap at least once. All my friends were fascinated by it. Does anyone know the science behind a soap that grows fur? It’s hard to believe something this innovative is no longer available in stores 🙂
But look! Collector alert! Someone is selling Fuzzy Wuzzy on eBay, five animal-shaped soaps in their original boxes with the store display for $399. Truly, the world is an amazing place, is it not?

The soap was molded onto a core made of plastic covered in fuzz. I am sure some lawyer sued the company because some parent left their child alone with the soap and the child got hurt somehow and that is why the soap isn’t made any more.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you!

The soap when exposed to air, would “crystalize” from the effervescence that comes off the soap… What happened is a child in WIlkes-Barre, PA ate the fur and was hospitalized for 3 days… the city pulled sales of the product.

That sounds awful, poor kid! And so that must have been the beginning of the end for Fuzzy Wuzzy, I suppose.
