One of the all time classic rope soaps, Hai Karate was perhaps the most popular rope soap version of a popular fragrance ever sold.

Part of the everlasting interest was a clever marketing campaign that claimed women went wild for men wearing the cologne or aftershave. Each bottle came with karate self defense instructions for men to protect themselves from the aggressive felines. 

Unfortunately Hia Karate disappeared from the shelves decades ago. If you're curious what all the fuss was about, consider purchasing Nine Ninjas Soap-On-A-Rope in the Novelty Soap-On-A-Rope section of this site featuring a great recreation of the classic fragrance. Each bar even includes the "self defense instructions" that saved your grandpa from the advances of those young, aggresive Baby Boom women! :)
