Beer Soap: In Austria and Germany, the most popular shampoos are made out of beer, not only because they love their pints, but because the protein in beer is incredible at adding body and shine to your locks. So naturally, eventually someone was gonna make it into a soap.

The soap would also make the perfect gift for your favorite beer-swilling pal. Courtesy of this soap, the recipient will go head over heels to do something nice for you because you gave them a way to smell like their favorite beverages (whether it be Red Stripe, Sam Adams, or Newcastle). But don't be mistaken -- the manufacturers added some natural and essential oils into the mix, too. This might also have a place in the gift bags at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2010 Party. We're just putting it out there.
