ok so there is the idea that prisons use it to avoid dropping it, but I thought they avoided things that could be used to kill yourself or others. yes there IS spoap on a rope and if you drop the soap the best idea rather than scramble to and fro trying to wrangle it you should trap it by the drain and then bend *at the knees* and pick it up. So anyway the novelty idea is by and large the best answer, but WHY? novelty is one thing, but is there ryme or reason? did someone a making homemade soap drop a shoelace into his latest batch and say "ehh screw it, Ill leave it"

History has it that soap on a rope was invented by the Design House of Dana in 1949, most commonly known as the English Leather company. Though soap on a rope had been in circulation since the 1950s, it became a very popular men's and Father's Day gift during the 1980s.

Soap is slippery, have you ever chased a bar of soap around the shower for five minutes and once you've finally caught it you're panting, exhausted, clutching it tightly and thrust it victoriously into the air with a shout of "Ha HA!" just to have it pop out of your slippery little fingers and start the vicious cycle all over again? Yeah, that's why I stick to body wash.

English Leather introduced it in the early 50s as a mens novelty.
you hang it up in the shower and doesn't get soft from sitting in the soap dish

I'm sure it was made awhile back but why...prisons and lockerooms. They could see the future.
