John W. Bodman

is the correct winning answer submitted by Tom Burns.

Congratulations Tom!

Here are some of the incorrect submissions we have received since 1999:

Proctor and Gamble

Lever Brothers

Edison and Sir Joseph Swan

Grandpa Swan

Harley Proctor

James Gamble

James Clifford Roberts

Thomas Edison

Caswell-Massey

Thomas Hedley LTD

Robert Spear Hudson

John H. Stallman and John Fulton Jr

John Kitchen

William Hesketh Lever

Lord Leverhulme

Lever Brothers in England were the original makers of “Swan Soap” developed in the early 1800’s. And yes it did float. However someone at Procter and Gamble got wind of it, and stole a couple bars, made up the story about the guy going to lunch and leaving the soap machine on and voila a hoax is born. P&G did not buy the Swan label; rather, they had to come out of pocket after a law suit had been filed against them for corporate espionage. Dum-dum-duuuummmmmm!!!!!
