We posed a question in a recent Clay County News column asking readers to identify this thing:
We received two quick replies. The thing is a "soap holder" and it triggered further conversations about its use(s).
Generally the purpose of the thing was to enable use of those bits and slivers of soap that remain when you've gotten about 94% of the use you're going to get. Some of us are .... frugal and would like to use 100% of that soap bar before unwrapping the next one.
A collection of soap slivers in this handy-dandy little device will allow you to swish it in water and dissolve those last precious pieces into usable suds.
Or, we learned that a bunch of those slivers of soap, if heated properly, would congeal into a reconstructed, full-fledged, almost new-looking bar of soap. We've not tried this.
And yes, we did have a brief discussion about the microwave oven. Consensus was inconclusive.
