The soap industry isn’t particularly know for its sense of humor, but one American company is offering a whole range of products that will get you clean and also make you giggle.
Whiskey River Soap Co. offers colorful soaps, candles, and bath bombs, which are all handmade.
But rather than being named after the scent — say, vanilla or lavender — each of the products is named after the occasion or type of person it’s meant for, like an Awkward Moment, Hipsters, or the Stubbornly Optimistic.
Squeaky clean! Whiskey River Soap Co. sells soaps and candles with funny names
Must-have! This candle for Dad Bods pays homage to met who are a little doughy in the middle
Hilarious: Most of the soaps are all for specific types of people and crack jokes
Not nice: The company is clearly not a fan of Grammar Police — and even used the wrong form of ‘your’ (instead of ‘you’re’) to annoy them
Super specific: Scammers and so-so mothers also get special shout-outs
Crazy: This pink candle for Hot Messes seems like the perfect gag gift for a female friend
Which to choose? The soaps are all handmade and come in pretty color combinations
Chill, man: At first glance, this candle seems like it would be a compliment — until one realizes it pokes fun at ‘bros’
The incredibly unique soaps, the company’s flagship product, sell for $8.95 each and have some hilarious and surprising names and descriptions.
Some are meant for special occasions, like the Soap for a Midlife Crisis (which ‘smells like a motorcycle’), the Soap for Being Awesome (which ‘smells like a cool story, bro’), and the Soap for Man Crush Monday (which ‘smells like maybe a beard, or a cool scarf, or both’).
There’s the Soap for Pity Parties (‘scented with country music’), one for S*** Shows (‘smells like 2017, and most of my Saturday nights’), and one for Wedded Bliss (‘smells like two, three years tops’).
There are a bunch for specific types of people, too, including Nigerian Businessmen, Okay Moms, the Formerly Employed, the Middle Child, the Quietly Neurotic, and the Slightly Unhinged.
Something for everyone: There’s a soap for those awkward moments in life when you want to scrub it all away, and also for cool kids
Way better action plan than buying a motorcycle: Get this cute candle instead

Stock up? Soaps cost $8.95 each, while candles are $19.95
Stay away! It seems this candle is more for people who have crazy exes than the crazy exes themselves
Variety: The ‘Bomb Shell’ candle ‘smells like another damned Kardashian
Rugged: This candle, for ‘A Man’s Man’, is one of the company’s most popular
The Weird Teachers soap probably isn’t great as an end-of-term gift, while the soap for It Is What It Is seems sad
‘Murica! This joke candle is for Canada, who may see an influx of American immigrants
Weird Teachers, White Guys, #Blessed People, Bombshells, Broke A** Musicians, Cool Kids, Crazy Exes, and Creepy Uncles get their own special soaps too.
Each comes with a funny description of what it ‘smells like’, though it is unclear whether the soaps are actually scented.
The descriptions poke fun, but occasionally hit very close to home.
The company also sells a large range of candles ($19.95) with most of the same names, offering them for Canada, Dirty Minds, Evil Dictators, Foodies, Frenemies, and First World Problems.
There is even a soap and a candle that poke fun at Donald Trump, called a Candle for Yuge Mistakes, which ‘smells like a comb-over. But a really super terrific comb-over like you’ve never seen before’.
Trump soap: The company even has a soap that makes fun of Donald Trump
Crazy candle: ‘s***show’ and ‘candle’ are not two words often found together
The soap for Mr. Right Now might not be the nicest gift to give a boyfriend, though a Broke A** musician might be thrilled to get free soap
Swipe left: This candle might be funny to light when setting the mood for a Tinder date
Fabulous purchase: They even have a perfect candle for adulting
Fizz: The company also sells bath bombs, including this one for when you need to relax and there are still three days left in the week
Funny: There are also bath bombs for people who want to tune out their kids or are having an especially bad day
The pieces would no doubt make great novelty gifts, especially for those that might identify with some of the ‘types’, like Hipsters, the Grammar Police, Introverts, Queens, and Stoners.
Finally in the home spa department, the company has a small selection of bath bombs ($8.95), including A Bath Bomb for Zero F***s (‘smells like you have none left to give’) and It’s Only Frickin’ Tuesday (‘smells like slowly dying — there’s no way I’m going to make it to Friday, people’).
Recently, it also released a line of journals with funny covers for different types of people, including one that reads ‘My Greatest Ideas’ for narcissists and ‘To Do Lists I’ll Never Do’ for procrastinators.
