NES soap won't help you rescue the Princess, may help you get a date

Videogame controllers are typically rated on ergonomics, durability, and responsiveness — though they sometimes get a few bonus points by looking especially cool. The original NES game pad really didn’t have any of those attributes going for it, but that didn’t stop it from becoming a cultural icon, one that has inspired reproductions of all shapes and sizes. The latest one varies not in dimensions but in composition: it’s made of soap. Yes, this controller, which sells for just $8.25, is designed for bath time fun, and what it lacks in functionality it makes up for with natural ingredients and lovely (we presume) fragrances that surely smell a good bit better than those musty hunks of discolored plastic you probably have stuffed in a box somewhere.
