Filthy soap

I just came across one of my old photos I took of a pile of soap in someone's bathroom. I remember that at the time I was amazed at their quantity - there were a lot more than on the picture - and filthiness. After all, we usually associate soap with cleanness.

Having looked up the concept in Google, I came across Filthy Farmgirl Soap where the word "filthy" definitely refers to the farmgirl, not the soap.

Otherwise the idea of filthy soap is not a very dominant one in cyberspace. But in reality soap is made of animal fat so that must be some disgusting process that turns cows peacefully grazing in the sun into that white and fragrant product on the side of your sink. If you have ever driven on highway 5 past Bakersfield and smelled the stench of cows being cooked into glue or something, you know what I am talking about. Or whetever they do there...
