HAVE WE KILLED THE BAR SOAP?!?!

The sticking point isn't whether to use soap. It's whether the bar goes straight onto your body, or gets worked into a lather on a washcloth first.

Toni Lodge and Ryan Jon's Short, "HAVE WE KILLED THE BAR SOAP?!?!", has brought that surprisingly personal household question to nearly a quarter of a million views before its first full day was over. That's far beyond the podcast's usual start for a Short, but the conversation underneath is even more unusual: comments have already passed forty times the usual full-day total.

Viewers keep returning to Ryan's realization that he has used soap at Toni's house. Others are defending Toni's direct-to-skin approach by recalling Dove commercials in which people used the bar that way, including memories of ads emphasizing its curved shape. Those are viewers' recollections, but they explain why an apparently simple washing habit has become a debate.

The washcloth contingent has plenty to say, too. Some describe lathering the cloth rather than applying the bar directly; another says the only part of their body the soap touches is their hand. A committed bar-soap user rejects shower gel altogether.

And among the practical responses is a very podcast-shaped solution: viewers want Toni to make a soap tutorial.

The only part of me a bar of soap directly touches is my hand.

I am a millennial and WILL NOT use liquid soap in my shower. I hate shower gel I never FEEL clean. So it's not me I use bars.

Toni, you need to do a soap instructional to remedy this situation.
Soap is crucial to life and preserving it!!

His face when he said "I've used soap at your house" 😅 his soul left his body 😂.
I love these two, and I love the fact Toni always takes things he says on board and keeps an open mind rather than people who just dismiss things and can't admit when they are wrong. These 2 are an amazing duo ❤
