Soap - Just what is soap, and what makes soap... soapy? How do you make it? Is it better or worse than chemical detergents? And how were people getting clean before soap? I look into all that and more, and express my love for the 90's Comic Masterpiece _The Tick_.
But seriously - Chemicals are not The Enemy - profiteering off fear is.
