US Dollar Melts in Tokyo Bathtubs
It isn’t just the American Dollar that’s dissolving! Japan’s top toymaker Bandai has released paper-thin, rose-scented bath soap that looks like the American $100 bill and dissolves to create a bubble bath.
To avoid being mistaken for the real thing, the “Bubbly Bubble Bath” banknote features the winking face of former US president Benjamin Franklin, and the number 1,000 instead of 100.
A pack of 10 bills is a steal at just 250 yen (2.8 dollars).
A company representative introducing the product said.
“We want people to enjoy a luxurious feeling, as if they’re in a bath of cash,”
For those with fond memories of Japan’s bubble economy of the 1980s, a yen version of the soap is also available.
Bandai has already sold 200 000 bundles of the two currencies to stores since their launch three weeks ago.
For bathers who like a moment of quiet reflection in the hot tub, each pack offers some words of wisdom, such as “Money is the God of the World” and “Money does not change men, it only unmasks them.”
