fraidycat Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Apparently makes a funny and interesting conversation piece. I have some in a soap dish on the counter in the bathroom at my parents' house. So far, it has been mistaken as a smooshed granola bar (my mom), thick beef jerky (my dad), cat poop (my sister), and date cake (my brother). It makes me :lol: every time someone else comes out of the bathroom and asks "why is there _______ on the counter in the bathroom?" Who needs artworks when you can discuss soap? :D 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trulycrabby Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 DS13 wanted to put frosting on it. :zombie: It has done nothing for my eczema, but has helped DH's dry, itchy legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Until I opened this thread I was reading the title as African Black Sheep. LOL 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 LOL. I ordered a huge container of it from Amazon once, directly from somewhere... maybe Ghana? I forgot about it when we moved. I wonder where the box is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom25girls Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 OH! Until the end of this thread, I thought it was about African Black Soup! :lol: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Dh bought me a bar last year. I loved it. It was weird how it turned the bath water grey, lol. He got it from Wegman, but they were all gone when I went back to get more. Where's the best place to order it online? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CLTDH3O/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485998135&sr=8-2&keywords=african+black+soap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I totally misread the title of this thread as "soup" then wondered why it would be in a soap dish. :tongue_smilie: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenaj Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Someone gave us a bar of black soap for my teenager to try on his acne. My dh's aunt, in her late seventies, was here over Christmas and after a few days, she came out of the bathroom with a puzzled look on her face muttering something about the soap. I love to aggravate her so I just let her stew about it for a while before explaining. Edited February 2, 2017 by JanOH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samba Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) I dissolve ABS in water to make body wash. The bar stays in the laundry closet until I'm ready to make a new batch. I didn't know all the fun I was missing by not leaving it out for everyone to see. :tongue_smilie: ETA. I just clicked on the Amazon link. What does it say about me that I own all of the "Frequently bought together" items. Maybe people wouldn't be puzzled at all to see unusual items in my bathroom. They'd probably just roll their eyes and think, "That looks like something Samba would buy." The only one I'd rather not explain is the squatty potty. :leaving: Edited February 3, 2017 by samba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 So I just got an email from the ABSoap people with a PDF attached. I'm guessing that's safe to open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I just saw it at Target. I'd never heard of it before, but I read something different every time I see this thread. The catchy title is the only reason I noticed it at the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 :lol: Tonight it was my sister-in-law's turn to wonder about the "dried meat" in the bathroom. Everyone needs to get some of this stuff, even if only for the entertainment value. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
