Scenario 3-1
In the early and mid-1800s, soaps were made from animal fats.The perishable quality of the soap, however, allowed manufacturers to sell a product with only regional appeal.This changed when soap makers began to use vegetable fats and perfume in the soap-making process.According to Procter & Gamble legend, one batch of this vegetable-based soap was left to mix too long.The result was a product that floated in water due to an excess amount of air.The company turned this into a selling point and, in 1882, launched one of the first soaps with the potential for national sales-Ivory soap-with the slogans "It floats" and "99-44/100 percent pure."
