Honest question. I'm terrified of failure ;-;
Anyway, I know I'm not the only one who's wished hand soap was edible.

Genuinely confused. It has a fresh scent/flavor. Would I be upset if soap smelled like it? No?? I mean I think some soaps smell like cilantro, but it's not like taking a bite out of an Irish spring bar... Can't tell if I have the soap gene or not, like what kind of soap is it supposed to taste like?

For me it tastes like drinking water from a cup that was recently washed but not rinsed very well. It’s like a hint of soap, not like biting a bar of soap. It’s unpleasant but not gross to the point of being inedible.

That's definitely what it's like for me. I often have to check the ingredients to make sure I rinsed the dish properly or if it's just cilantro (or oregano, which also tastes like soap to me, and smells strongly like it.)

Oh no, I didn't know people can have oregano genetically ruined as well. I suspect human olfactory perceptions to be much more diverse than I ever expected.
