If you ever had been shocked in a shower, you know exactly what a shower shock is. Shower shock is shocking - after all, when I am taking my shower, getting shocked, is not something I would expect.

And then there is something else – “the shocker” - which is, allegedly, could be received in a shower as well - - but I digress. All joking aside, the only shower shock I have ever experienced was when I took my first contrast shower.

If you care to try it, alternate between 30 seconds of cold water and about two minutes of hot water - - it is great way to quickly wake up in the morning and useful for post-exercise recovery.

Now, what if there was a way to get “shocked” in a shower simply by using your soap? Impossible?

Maybe…except for the fact that some clever marketers decided to merge a cup of coffee and a bar of shower soap into “the ultimate clean buzz” – Shower Shock Caffeinated Soap.

Shower Shock soap appears to be the world’s first caffeinated soap. It is scented with peppermint and infused with caffeine. One bar of Shower Shock contains approximately 12 servings/showers per 4 once bar with 200 milligrams of caffeine per serving.

Does it really work? I think I felt a slight buzz from all that caffeine – although for me, it was not strong enough to give up a good cup of coffee. However, it lathers well, and after washing with it, the smell of my skin was great. It was a gift, so I am happy with it.
