I had a bar of soap in the shower....as you do, and it basically started to turn to goo over a couple/three days. What could cause that.

No my sweat and natural scents have never liquified anything or have ever been weaponized.

This is just odd as I have never seen it happen.

Soap dish not letting the water drain out?

Did any antibacterial liquid soap get near it? That and regular soap seem to turn each other into water and nothing.

Acid based cleaner like CLR.

EMP... should have kept it in a faraday cage.

Dissatisfaction. Try harder to keep happy soap.

Aliens.

If I keep the soap in a Faraday cage it won’t be happy and or satisfied so I am screwed.

"SSL" Spontaneous Soap Liquidification. Rare phenomenon similar to "SHC" Spontaneous Human Combustion.

I think manufacturers may be cutting corners on soap in general to cut costs and not have to raise prices and maybe the formulation isn't as robust?

I like plain Ivory bar soap and lately it seems like the bars have come out of the package half used already they are that small and feel feather-light to me. I could have sworn they used to be much bigger and heavier.

Maybe they are whipping more air into them than they used to?

Perhaps your soap is identifying as shampoo?

If I may be serious for a moment (possible, but unlikely) I'd suspect heat and humidity.

Foregoing thoughts on formulation could well figure into it too.

Definitely a Poltergeist. You know....a ghost or other supernatural being supposedly responsible for physical disturbances such as loud noises and objects thrown around and melting bars of soap.

Tin foil won’t help with these bad boys.

or liquid soap masquerading as a bar of soap?


transformer?

What kind was it?

If it’s not lye made soap, it may be easier to dissolve.

No-one's asked you if you recently changed your soap, did you? Is there anything else you're doing different in the shower? (no need to go into deeply personal information, Boss )

Irish Spring.
Have Used it before.
Not heat or humidity.
We are however in a different place right now/rental.
The soap in question came out of my travel kit and may have been a year old or so.
If it’s a ghost he’s clean, so thumbs up.
Can’t be an alien as my ass doesn’t hurt, so haven’t been probed.
If my soap is identifying as shampoo, it can do double the work.

Thanks all. It was just strange as I’ve never seen it happen.

I think we found it.

Your soap had the 'bola.

Does soap “expire” if you will?
