Soap with attitude. Three words is all it takes to describe soap and candles from Whiskey River Soap Co. The soaps and candles from Whiskey River feature funny or topical catch phrases and quotes on each product. The styling perfects the quotes–it looks like any other gift soap or candle… until you read some of the hilarious text on the soap packaging.

Whiskey River Soap Co. products are a new line at Oswald’s. We couldn’t resist the humor oozing from each bar of soap or each candle. Just take a quote about the founding of Whiskey River Soap Co. from their website: 

“Whiskey River Soap Co. was founded more than fourteen million years ago in the outskirts of Ancient Rome by a ragtag group of freelance gladiators, stray dogs and out-of-work magicians.”
