Jurassic Park in the bathroom

Does anyone remember dino-soap?

I was at work last week, clearing some food off the buffet table at the end of the evening, and came to the point of chucking it all out in the bins…when I discovered the miracles of the weird chicken wings/legs which were stuck to the flat (metal tray thing) with a sauce that had somewhat jellified itself. At first I thought it reminded of the jelly in pork pies, but soon realised that what I was seeing was the predecessor of the baby dinosaur in Jurassic Park that tried to break free of its jelly-type coating as it came out of its egg in the lab. The similarity was remarkable…

Better still, I was reminded of the soaps I used to have when little - opaque and egg shaped… that gave birth to a little plastic dinosaur when I was a good enough girl to wash my hands enough times. Was it just my family that had these oddities - no one at work seems to have heard of them, and I’m beginning to think I’ve just invented them for the purpose of wiling away an entire evening…

For some reason I find the thread title hilarious.

I hadn’t heard of it, but now I want it! I did a google search and found these two, plus a lot of links about how to make your own dino soap (I gotta try that!). I’m not sure that those are what you’re talking about, though…
