Story summary

Hard Rock Bet, an online sports betting platform operated by the hotel chain Hard Rock International, has launched a new line of scented soap called Rival Rinse, with flavors inspired by different cities and their sports fanbases. New Yorkers will soon be able to purchase SuDway, a soap that smells like a "New York slice with hints of bodega." Each soap is shaped like a football and comes in specific city-themed designs and scents. The company plans to release these soaps exclusively through the Hard Rock Bet Rewards store, which can only be accessed via their betting app, not through physical retail stores.
