Many leeks stacked on top of one another.
It's not well known outside of the industry, but Uglivy, Mappelthorpe & Jones, LLC, was the first agency to develop a campaign for Scrubbing Bubbles®. They did not do well - the best they managed was "Laving Leeks", which was derided as being a poor rip-off of The Sorcerer's Apprentice from Disney's Fantasia. The agency was fired shortly after delivering the campaign.

Uglivy, Mappelthorpe & Jones did not walk away empty-handed, however. They recycled the images into several science fiction movies, including Mars Attacks! and Galaxy Quest.

Adventuresome souls can find a more lascivious laving leeks reference elsewhere.
