Rub-A-Dub Doggie!
1980s toy historians have let me down again! There’s no single Wikipedia page for Rub-A-Dub Doggie, so I don’t know exactly when it hopped in and out of the bathtub. It was obviously born in the 1980s and I’m guessing it was put down sometime in the 80s or early 90s. I don’t really know. I just know that it’s not around anymore, because that shit is too simple for the kids of today who probably pass the time in the bathtub by playing games on their Rub-A-Dub iPad 3.0.
Rub-A-Dub Doggie was basically a Pound Puppy for the bath. It came in a bunch of colors including a raver-colored one. You’d wash its rubber body with the bone sponge it came with and you’d shake the suds out of its terry cloth ears by moving its head back and forth. Yes, it was as simple as simple can be, but I’m sure it distracted kids from pooping out floating tub turds, so it did its job.
The thing I remember most about Rub-A-Dub Doggie was its jingle. The jingle that played in the commercial stuck in my brain the same way that I’m sure mildew stuck to Rub-A-Dub Doggie’s insides. I listened to it this morning and I fully expect my dog to keep his paws shoved into his ears all day, because I can’t stop singing, “Rub-a-dub doggie, soft little doggie, it can take a bath with youuuuuu….”
