Soap question
Ok, is it just me, or is there something to this? It seems like back in the day, a bar of soap would last for hell and ever. Now, if you get a week out of one, it's a miracle. Quick dissolving formula???

Like, how long ago? When you were a kid? You're bigger now, so you use more of it.

I noticed the same thing. A package of 8 bars of soap was a freakin' year's supply. Now it's a couple months.
I'm going to start using Lava. I don't think they've softened up at all. |

I can't remember the last time I saw a bar of soap.
If I had to guess, it was before I got engaged. |

The bars are probably smaller than they used to be, like just about every product you buy.

If the water splashes on the soap while you shower, it disappears quickly. If the soap dish / rack is out of the way, it lasts much longer.

I was thinking the same thing. Our soap shelf thingy is away from direct stream and has drain troughs molded in. We use Dial and are always certain to put the bar away with the "crown" of the bar facing up so there is very small contact and it can dry quickly and not get all gooey.

Everything has shrunk though. Coffee used to be a one pound can, now it's as little as 10 or 12 ounces. Potato chips used to be a pound, now they are about 10 ounces. I'm surprised they haven't started selling smaller heads of lettuce, smaller oranges, etc. |
