The name "Not Soap, Radio" comes from an old, absurd joke that was popular in the mid-20th century. The joke itself doesn’t have a logical punchline; instead, it’s meant to confuse the listener while those in on the joke laugh at their bewilderment. The humor lies in its absurdity, a quality that the founders of "Not Soap, Radio" cleverly embraced when naming their brand.

As explained on their website, the name was inspired by a favorite childhood joke. The joke goes, “There are two polar bears taking a bath. One polar bear says to the other, ‘Please pass the soap.’ The other bear turns to him and says, ‘Not Soap, Radio.’” Those in the know would laugh, while others were left puzzled. This inside joke became the perfect name for a brand that prides itself on being both whimsical and meaningful.

For a brand like "Not Soap, Radio," which relies on strong visual identity and messaging, the quality of its packaging is crucial.

In the bath and body industry, the packaging isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s also about durability.
