Eating Soap, c/d

It seems very tempting, as it sometimes smells SO GOOD, but then you give it a go and OH DEAR it's not so great. A bit of niceness then a horrible SOAPY sensation... stiil tempting for a 7-8 or so year old. Who else has tried this forbidden fruit?

When I was 8 I told my mom to Shut up. She washed my mouth out with soap. Didn't really enjoy it.

"Lifebuoy, however..."

apparently i stunned my parents by pronouncing "cashmere bouquet" correctly in the shower one day, age 2

though i guess it would have been the bath

is easy. When it's from a spoon.

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 28 February 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

NO-ONE else has tried eating soap?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 28 February 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

You're a luny.

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 28 February 2003 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyone who has had their "mouth washed out with soap" for saying something nasty will never ever have the temptation to eat soap ever ever ever, because as you've found out, it tastes terrible. The really puzzling thing about the question is that it doesn't smell particularly tasty either.

On the other hand, there used to be this gum called "Charms" which smelled like soap, and they tasted okay, I guess.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 28 February 2003 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

More pertinently, does anyone LIKE the taste of soap? There must be one of you out there.

Only if I'm eating it off my wifes....oh never mind.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 28 February 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

...soap tray.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 28 February 2003 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

you got it.

For some reason, this reminds me of the following story:

A newly-married friend is in the kitchen rummaging for a late-night snack and asks his wife if she wants anything. Wife, who is tired, headachy and cranky, says, "Your ass on a silver platter!" Friend dutifully stips down and squat-marches backwards into the bedroom, buttocks placed on their BRAND NEW AS-YET-UNUSED silver platter. Wife screams at the mental thought of serving her mother food off of the despoiled tray and makes Friend sleep on the couch.

(No, this is not a story about me.)

(It occurs to me that this would be a better story if it ended in a shitting frenzy.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 28 February 2003 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

NO IT WOULD NOT BE.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 28 February 2003 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I was wondering where the soap would enter that story. Probably after the shitting frenzy.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 28 February 2003 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Were you thinking of Thrills gum, Sean? BEST GUM EVAH!!!

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 28 February 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

(It was the "eating it off of my wife's..." comment that triggered the story, Sean.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 28 February 2003 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

the correct answer is of course ear lobes.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 28 February 2003 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I luv Ned & Dan. They need a TV show.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 28 February 2003 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, sorry, Thrills gum, not "Charms". What the hell was I thinking?

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 28 February 2003 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread is only 21 posts old and yet is already so wrong.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 28 February 2003 17:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Interesting Freudian slip, Sean. You foresaw some potential rightness with this thread, Nick?

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 28 February 2003 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I luv Ned & Dan. They need a TV show.

It would be sick and wrong and better than just about anything else ever.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 28 February 2003 18:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It is a hidden desire of mine to have a TV show (hell, they gave TWO to Chris Wylde, I've got to have a shot at one).

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 28 February 2003 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan and Chris have their wives on their minds today. I know what they'll be doing this weekend.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 28 February 2003 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I repeat: THAT WAS NOT A STORY ABOUT ME.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 28 February 2003 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

(Not that that changes what I'll be doing this weekend, wink wink nudge nudge...)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 28 February 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

yep, my hand will be tired. She's working all weekend.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 28 February 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

But Sarah's still right about what you'll be doing this weekend, yes? Or rather, who.

(DAMN YOU FOR POSTING MORE QUICKLY.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 28 February 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

FEAR MY NIMBLE FINGERS (fnarr fnarr)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 28 February 2003 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I always fear.

Homer's Brain: This is it, Homer. Time to tell the terrible secret from your past.
Homer: Marge, I ate those fancy soaps you bought for the bathroom.
Marge: Oh my god!
Homer's Brain: No, the other secret!
Homer: Marge, I never graduated from high school.
Marge: That still doesn't explain why you ate my soap. Wait, maybe it does...

Soap-Eating FAP anyone?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 28 February 2003 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

We should invite a middle school and try to convince the kids that chomping on soap is the new cool drug of choice in the real world.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 28 February 2003 20:07 (twenty-two years ago)

You foresaw some potential rightness with this thread, Nick?

Well, there is a certain platonic rightness, in that it naturally brings out what Ned and Dan do so well. If you set up a TV show and hired writers to try and create this sort of thing it would flop miserably.

Another vote for reality TV.

A couple weeks ago I ate a lavender macaron. The scent/flavor was so strong I felt as if I was trying to eat a piece of soap.
