    I carved a duck out of soap.

    Do they still make Ivory Snow? Flakes of Ivory Soap for laundry use. Used to be used on old TV shows to simulate actual snow. Or has Ivory Snow been supplanted by detergents? (I could look it up, but I don’t care quite enough.)

    OK, so I broke down and looked it up. Ivory Snow apparently still exists, but according to Wikipedia, is really a detergent. It seems I was actually thinking of a product called Ivory Flakes, discontinued in 1978.

    After they learned that the model use on the box was a porn star (Marlyn Chambers).

    Snow was about all I could carve from a bar of Ivory as a kid, too.

    I too had trouble carving things … however, I LOVED to whittle away a few hours with a nice stick.

    Ivory soap is the whittling practice standard. Other soaps don’t carve well.

    Actually, Marlyn Chambers first appeared on the Ivory Snow box and two years later she became a porn star. See Snopes.
