YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS: Soap that smells like food!
By bpulsford
It's no secret that the Christmas season has arrived. You may walk down a high street and hear a Christmas song echoing out of a shop or catch a glimpse of a seasonal tree sparkiling in a window. Unfortunately the most wonderful time of the year walks hand in hand with our least favourite season, winter. People may be humming Christmas songs, but chances are they're coughing and sniffling too.
As a result we wrap up warm, cover our mouths more when we sneeze and generally wash more often to stop the spread of germs. However the business of persuading kids to wash more thoroughly has always been easier said than done! Or at least it used to be...
It seems our friends at Carex have come up with a new product to make kids actually want to wash their hands! How have they done this? Well, believe it or not they've made a type of soap that smells good enough to eat, thanks to the geniuses at Seven Scent.
Carex sent First News some of their brand new chocolate orange smelling soap for kids. The product is remarkable: it actually smells like chocolate orange and best of all it keeps your hands smelling sweet!
Fancy something wackier? This product isn't even available in the shops until 2011 and yet Seven Scent are currently thinking about other bonkers fragrances, including strawberry lace and, get ready for it...pizza flavour!
Washing your hands has never been this much fun...or smelled this delicious!
Carex clearly have some crazy ideas up their sleeves, but we want to hear from you: what type of smelling soap would you love to wash your hands with? The madder the better as far as we're concerned. Comment below or cast a vote in our Polls section.

I like the idea of soap that smells like Marmite. (Sorry, I love Marmite a lot!) And it could be in a Marmite container...and be Marmite coloured. The only problem is if you eat it by mistake...

Mmmmm! Marmite!

I use Carex soap at the moment! Maybe I'll ask my dad to get some when they're out. I would like a triple chocolate brownie soap if I could make a flavoured soap.
