Voting Question: I eat Irish Spring Soap, Do you eat soap?
I Love the smell of Irish spring… I eat it every day I can’t help it. I don’t eat a whole bar a day or anything like that, but I do keep a bar in the bathroom and sneak off every once in a while to scrape off a little bit at a time with my teeth or bite a tiny piece off. I can’t eat to much of it at a time or it burns the back of my throat or makes the inside of my bottom lip raw. I have never consulted a Doctor. I’m pretty sure it’s Pica. I’m 26 and married, my husband knows about it, he just turns his head the other way.When he does make comments I tell him to leave me alone, we all have bad habits at least mine is clean.( He has some nasty habits) I don’t know how to stop I’ve tried to stop buying it and not keep it in the house, but then I just eat other bars although they don’t taste as good. When ever I go to the store I go down th soap isle and pick it up and smell it. Then I stick it in my cart and when I get home i’m back to eating it again. The only problem I have with it is when i eat it i can’t eat anything else for an hour os so, because I have the taste of irish spring in my mouth and everything else tastes bad so all i can drink is water.
