  Same 😅:

  I know that DG has a soap called Delta-V. I looked at B Cubed and think, B -> Magnetic field -> Teslas. Can’t think of an equation that includes B^3^. So I look at the soap description. A riff on bay rum? [Big fan of bay rum, I need to try this soap] What’s with the name?

    The bending stiffness of a beam with rectangular cross section a × b ~ b³. Finally years of teaching structural mechanics have paid off! 😅

      Thanks for that! I spent too much of my university years with Maxwell’s equations.

    Oh, and the name is derived from "Blackberry Blossom Bay ", and it's a bay rum
