Jun 3 2010Washing With Electronics: Game Boy Soap
Etsy seller twoeggplants (and a microwave) is selling these super-realistic Game Boy soap bars. They cost $15 apiece, which I think we can all agree is a small price to pay to pretend you're playing Tetris while on the can.
Like most of my soap creations, this Game Boy Soap is the same size as the actual Game Boy. It was a tremendous amount of work and it shows in its very realistic details that were painstakingly created - from the buttons, the letters, the screen, and the colors.
Or you could do what I do and lather up with a real Game Boy. Plus it doubles as an electrolysis machine. You'll never have to shave again! Kidding, kidding -- there's nowhere near enough electricity for that (use a toaster, stupid).
Hit the jump for several more shots and another link to twoeggplants' Etsy (they sell taco soap too!).

Thanks to Ryan, who only washes with an Atari Lynx. Hell yeah, color!

@5 What do you mean nobody uses soap anymore?
That would suit well in a big sock to give a little "washing" to a turbulent roomate (or kid).

imagine if they used these in the socks in "Full Metal Jacket".... they'd be beating Fat Boy with Game Boys..... or something

Thats nothing, I made a life size soap carving of the death star and used it to wash one of my nuts...

Don't drop the gameboy
@5 - soap is overrated. a good layer of filth and normal bacteria helps to keep the bad bacteria away.

How do you post this but NOT my tip about the Mountain Dew scented Nintendo soap?!

Hey, this really looks like the old brick game, sort of a crude gameboy where the only games you could play are Tetris and Snake, that doesn't really look like a snake (more of a worm, actually).
