Soaky was a popular brand of bubble bath in the ’60s, which kids loved because the plastic bottles were shaped like famous cartoon characters. See some of the old toys and find out more here!

The old Soaky TV commercial jingle

Soaky soaks you clean
In oceans full of fun
Scrubbly bubbly flibbity flubbity
Clean before you’re done
Soaky soaks you clean
And every girl and boy
Gets a toy when it’s empty
When it’s empty, it’s a toy!
