The Ivory Story - The Minnetonka Corporation

In 1879, a soap maker at P&G made a mistake as the legend goes and forgot to turn off the mixer. And then that whipped a bunch of air in there. This is what happens when you over mix something. He shipped him out anyway because he was like, I don't want to get pinned for this. In 1865, William Shepard patented the first liquid soap. But it took all the way until 1980 when soft soap came around.
