Yumi got a gift of Israeli Gamila soap from a friend. Yumi was very excited so I looked it up. It's a specialty item, available only at selected stores and retails for about $35! THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS for a bar of soap?! And people get excited about it and buy it? It reminds me of the dialogue from Pulp Fiction about the $5 milk shake. In any case, I can't imagine that this special soap does much more than my 50 cent bar. I guess it shows that marketing and advertising do work. Hmmm... what can I put in a pretty container and sell for 100x what it's worth? Damn! Bottled water already exists...
