New Clean of Kong Soap & Contest!
After several long months, I’m finally able to share a new geeky soap… Clean of Kong: A Fistful of Bubbles! This Donkey Kong inspired soap has been on my mind since last fall when my dad sent me a link he thought would give me some new soap ideas. It was a list of classic games and how they’ve stood the test of time, and I saw Donkey Kong on the list. I was immediately transported back in time where I was a kid playing Donkey Kong on the Atari at my grandma’s house. The first thing that popped in my mind when I thought of DK and soap was… a barrel! Of course! Barrels are the hallmark of the Donkey Kong game series, and I could picture this beautiful soap in my mind.
Fast forward to the present, and I finally am unveiling the Donkey Kong inspired barrel soap in all its glory. I am really proud! It took me several mold attempts to get it just right, and I’m finally happy with how my vision turned out. When I was trying to decide which scent to use, the only thing that made sense (scents?) was banana. Those of you that know me know that I don’t exactly like bananas. In fact, I loathe  bananas. The taste, the consistency… everything. But considering how much a role bananas play in the Donkey Kong series, it seemed like the best choice, and nothing else seemed like a better fit. I went with a banana coconut fragrance oil, and the final result came together so well that I think you’re really going to love it.

My favorite was Donkey Kong – loved it! Such a great idea for soap!
Tetris all the way! I was obsessed then and still am to this day. :)
I never had an Atari, but I got a Super Nintendo when I was 5 or 6. I remember long nights playing Super Mario Brothers 3 when school had been canceled for snow. So as far as that goes, I’ll say Super Mario Brothers. As for arcade games, the local pizza place had Galaga and Mortal Kombat.
I loved zelda!
Favorite is a tie.. I loved Pacman but it was the only game my brother’s would let me play on the Atari. Once I got my hands on Nintendo, I was a Mario Bros. gal… I still love playing the original and along with Mario Bros., Donkey Kong of course!
Mine was either Super Mario Bros or Duke Nukem….probably going to go more with the Duke than anything. Loved me them strippers. ;)
My favorite classic were the Cetipede Millipede games I used to play on my uncles old handheld GameBoy, you know, the one with the green screen.
EARTHBOUND!!! it’s the best video game ever! :)
It wasn’t until I was in college that I was actually into playing video games (I grew up in a Videogame-free home). My roommate had an N64 and we played Goldeneye together. He was WAY better at it then I would would kill me repeatedly. I finally got in a kill shot & from then on, he wouldn’t let me live more then a few seconds after each respawn *sigh*
Now I play Battlefront with the hubby ;)
I loved Phantasy Star for Sega Master System, I played that game forever.
Tetris, hands down. That game taught me so much about packing my closet full of stuff.
favorite was pac man. donkey kong is a close second though.
Favorite classic game has to be Super Mario Bros :)
I used to play a lot of zaxxon and time pilot during my mall rat arcade days. dragon’s lair also swallowed a lot of quarters.
On my Apple ][e, I played a lot of Infocom games (Zork I/II/III, etc), Ultima I-IV and Wizardry

The classic Pitfall on the Atari 2600!!!!
My favorite classic game is Asteroids on the 2600. I used to play just to see how many times I could flip the score counter to zero or until my thumb was raw. LOL!
Probably Tetris. I could play it for ages. I love Pacman but I’m not very good at it at all XD
I love so many video games, but the three best ones are definitely the legend of zelda (a lik to the past or ocarina of time), super mario world and donkey kong country. last one was an epic game series. I love the new one on wii <3
My favorite that I still play to this day is the original Mario for SNES. Second to that was Metroid, though The Legend of Zelda the Ocarina of Time for N64 might beat out Metroid.
While I loved Donkey Kong, I played Pac Man for hours… Days, even.
I love bananas!! …and I think you are neat.
My favorite game? Hands down…Gunstar Heros!!
I loved “Sonic” for Sega! I never owned it myself – but my neighbor did so we became friends…
I loved Donkey Kong, Frogger and Tetris. My all time fave has to be super mario brothers! ALL TIME! Super mario brothers 3 to be exact!
btw – love the WoW Hearthstone soap!
i love all mario games! super mario bros 3 is my favorite, so much fun. :)
the clean of kong soap looks awesome. i’d love some!
thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite game was Tempest. Loved the high speed/high adrenaline pacing, as well as the sound effects.
I’m going to have to go with pacman. I remember when my family would go to HOG meetings, I would bring quarters and play the old arcade version of pacman there. I never made it overly far, but I was pretty good for a 5 year old. When I finally got a SEGA, Pacman was one of the first games I bought.
Space Invaders! That was the best!
I’m going to be a dirty Canadian! :o
I’m saying anyways because I don’t want to be left out.
Super Mario/Duck Hunt combo that came with my NES.
my favorite classic game was skies of arcadia. That game was my first true RPG that got me hooked on RPGs instead of platform games
I adore Frogger…the first one…the one that was just green and the black screen on your computer screen…very old school…I think it was the first video game I ever played as a child…love, love that game!! I adore your work also. Still going to order more soap from you!
I LOVe super mario bros 3.

I think my favorite classic video game is Space Invaders. Yay for soap contests! (As soon as I saw the barrel I assumed it would be root beer flavor because of the color. But banana coconut sounds yummy, too.)
my favorite game had to be super mario bros. the re-make on the wii was cool but you can never remake a classic!
I would Have to say Super Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong and Duck Hunt. Loved, loved that game!
My favorite classic game of all time would be, definitely, Super Mario Brothers!
my fave game is super mario bros 3
