It’s funny how much faith we have in soap. Considering we don’t even know what it actually is. We do know it’s not disinfectant. We know that you can eat it – so it can’t be that full-on. Yet we fully believe that it magically makes our hands clean and germ free. The only time I don’t really trust soap is when I go to a public toilet and there is an old cake of soap that is dirty and cracked. At that point, I start to question Soap’s abilities. I find myself thinking “Soap, you don’t look very clean. How do I know that you can really clean me if you can’t keep yourself clean? … I don’t know, I think I might be cleaner if I don’t touch you? I don’t think I trust you Soap.” But in the end, I usually give in. Soap wins again.
