Science Experiment

I had seen and bookmarked a post on microwaving Ivory soap and we gave it a try. It was fun, the soap puffed up impressively. It deflates pretty quickly and the soap feels dry and papery to the touch. The only drawback was that all of the perfumes in the bar were released. I don't think of Ivory as being very heavily scented, but our house (and for several days the microwave) had a sickly sweet smell. If we do this again it will be in the summer when we can open the windows.
