{{quote|'''Ralphie as Adult:''' [narrating] ''Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand...''

* A recent{{when}} [http://www.spike.com/video-clips/f840d9/general-motors-gm-soap-in-your-mouth Super Bowl commercial]{{Dead link}} showed a montage of kids with a bar of soap in their mouths for no apparent reason. Then we learn that the ad was for a new car with an automatic retracting roof. A kid says "holy [[Curse Cut Short|sh--!]]" when he sees it in action, hence the soap in the mouth.
