Woman in stitches after realising she’s been washing her hands with a block of cheese – not soap – for DAYS

A WOMAN was in stitches after realising she’d mistakenly been using a block of cheese as a bar of soap for days. 

Miley from Vancouver, Washington, had been wondering why her soap wasn’t foaming as usual, before she discovered it was in fact a lump of cheddar. 

The woman explained she usually keeps a bar of soap by her sink for her hands

Miley explained she uses liquid soap for her dishes, but keeps a bar of yellow, unscented soap for her hands. 

But one night after a few drinks she left the cheddar out on the counter, and then mistook it for the soap.

After realising her mistake, she posted a hilarious snap of the cheese to Reddit, sharing her blunder. 

Miley wrote: "Just realized my soap wasn’t working because it’s literally a block of cheese.”

I suspect I left it out when I was intoxicated and just forgot

And explaining why it took so long for her to realise, she added: “I use a liquid soap for the dishes, bar soap like dis is gentler on my hands after I do chores if that makes any sense [sic].”

But Miley admitted to Cafe Mom alcohol may also have played a part in the mishap.

She said: “It was a couple days of 'Why isn’t this foaming?!'

"I come to realize it was a dried-out square of Tillamook sharp cheddar cheese.

“I suspect I left it out when I was intoxicated and just forgot.”
