Ivory Bars Extend More than 101 Times
Around the Earth!
Since the first Ivory bar was introduced in 1879, Americans
have used approximately 40 billion bars of Ivory Soap. If
lined up, these bars would be approximately 2,525,253 miles
long or would circle the earth almost 101 ½ times!
Ivory – It’s a Hit!
The first Ivory television commercial aired in 1939 only five
months after television was introduced in the U.S. The ad
for Ivory appeared during the first televised major league
baseball game, where the Cincinnati Reds faced the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
Soap that’s a Cut Above
The first Ivory Soap sculpture contest took place in 1924
and spurred soap competitions that spanned the next 63 years
and included displays at Lord & Taylor and numerous replicas
of the Empire State Building.
