In the 1970s, Life Bouy Soap commercials showed people stepping out of the shower, squeaky clean, and two feet off the ground. I remember buying a bar of soap and excitedly taking a shower, expecting to "walk on air" like the people did in the ads. Two seconds after I stepped out of the shower it dawned on my how stupid I had been to believe the commercials.
