People have been trying to lose weight and get in shape in many different ways over the decades. We've tried low-fat diets, low-carb diets, running, swimming, electric impulse, starving ourselves, taking pills, and even eating just liquids for weeks on end. But did you ever think about taking a bubble bath?

This gizmo is from 1933, and it shows a woman in a bathtub filled with non-alkali soapsuds, created by the power of a waterproof electric motor that sits next to your tub. Personally, I don't care if it is "waterproof," items such as a bathtub and anything electric aren't items I want in the same room.

Look at that pic...that's a lot of suds from only a teaspoon of powder.
