By popular demand I'm bringing my Con*Tact caffeine soap to Further Confusion this year! I have a very limited supply, and once it's gone, that's it. Does caffeine soap really work? HECK YES! I make it using a low-sweat totally plain soap, cut with a decent amount of Shea soap for added moisturizing. Not only will this stuff wake you up but it's one of the nicest soaps you'll use, the lather is really thick and creamy. Heh, creamy. The active ingredient (pure caffeine) is absorbed through your skin while you shower, and feels just a little tingly, in a cool kind of way. I've been producing this for going on three years and have had many great reports from people surprised at how well it works.



Anyways, my experience with the caffeine soap is that it wakes you up in a very smooth kind of way, like your eyes are easier to keep open and you feel less "sleepy heavy." An average shower gives you a little less caffeine than a cup of coffee (<200mg), but doesn't turn your stomach upside down like an energy drink first thing in the morning. I don't reccomend drinking a bunch of Red Bull after using my soap, but trust me, you won't need it.

Does one of your roommates refuse to shower? Tempt him with my soap, tell him that all the cool kids are using Con*Tact (because they are!) One bar of Con*Tact should last the duration of the convention and take care of up to 4 people, but everyone's shower time and soap usage are different. I'm planning on dedicating one bar for our room and that should be more than enough to last the weekend among the 4 of us. Each bar is about the size of a standard store-brand bar of soap, like Irish Spring or Dove. Better yet, when you're done with the soap there is a PRIZE inside! Your reward for staying clean could be anything from a plastic ninja to a glow in the dark frog. :3

Whatever doesn't sell I am planning on using for trades because I absolutely adore con badges and sketchbook art!

There are three scents available-
Rich Lime: my most popular, makes the shower smell like a lime popsicle, bright green soap cast in a pawprint mold.
Sapphire Dragon: a warm, sweet earthy scent blending incense, black amber, and lavendar, a bright blue soap cast in a dragon mold.
Jurassic Daiquiri: tropical pineapple and cilantro blend, a purple soap cast in various dinosaur molds.

If you absolutely must have one of my soaps (and really, who can blame you? they're awesome!!) you should comment here and call dibs on it. I'm asking $5 a bar and take paypal or cash. I'll be at con from Thursday through Monday.
