The Waterfall soap dish

If the Justice Department wants to break up a really rough consumer gouge, they should investigate what I am sure must be a nefarious plot between soap makers and soap-dish makers. Have you ever been in a shower or tub with a recessed soap dish that drains? When dripping hand plonks the soap cake into the ribbed receptacle, you can be sure, come the dawn, that the puddle will have turned at least half the soap into a mushy, useless pulp. Do you suppose itís purely a coincidence that no one has yet designed a soap-dish that keeps the cake drained and dry? Cahoots, I say! After them, Justice!
