Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor – heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. – Ralphie, A Christmas Story.

I remember as a kid when our mom was always threatening to wash our mouths out with soap. I can’t recall it ever happening though.

How about a mom who tried to make me drink a gallon of water mixed with plenty of epsom salts when I faked illness to get out of school. Brutal.
