I’ve been thinking about soap, and I wanted to share with you dear reader. Soap is one of the few inedible objects that tastes as it smells. When you taste soap, it tastes like soap. When you taste shampoo, it does not taste like watermelon-mango fruity splash designed especially for people with dry hair. Pro: soap is honest. I appreciate honesty in my friends but especially in my objects. Soap is honest. You smell it, you know how it tastes, unlike your fruity shampoo. Con: soap tastes like it smells. Soap tastes horrible. May you never taste it. I have a love-hate relationship with my soap. Please help resolve this for me, dear reader. See you soon.
