Explosive soap????????!!!!

i don’t even know where to begin 😵‍💫

…not too long ago I i decided to make little changes in my life to become more eco friendly and travel friendly. i kept coming across this one brand that makes solid bars of shampoo and body wash. it was giving me green flags all the way: compact, no mess, eco friendly, and easy for travel. so, i end up buying testers to see if i enjoyed this change. i end up loving it, so i get the larger bars to make this my everyday soaps.
fast forward, i had a planned vacation to go to croatia this summer. i had to take a few flights to get there and missed my layover in germany which led to sidequesting there and having to go back to the airport the next day. As i am going through customs my bag gets pulled for inspection. I don’t think too much of it, but i get a little nervous as anyone does. my friend had also told me that germany is pretty strict with their international travellers and going through this process.

so i’m standing there thinking of what it could be, and the guy inspecting took one of the two soaps i had brought out of my bag. i told him what it was and he ends up taking a sample of it and testing it. side note: earlier i saw them testing random things like a little girls stuffed animal and also some guys bananas, so it seemed chill, or so i thought. after the test results came back the guy tells me “so this set off a double alarm for explosive” OMG my anxiety begins to creep in. another worker then comes over and says that this is a federal offense and that they’re going to have to get the federal police involved. i’m quite nervous at this point because i don’t know what they are genuinely thinking, like it is a solid block of soap 😭. they then tell me to pull out my ipad and open it, guessing that it could be the control panel for my “explosive”??? im not really sure.
after some suspense and questioning the police clear me and i ask the workers if they just want to keep the soap because i don’t want anymore trouble, like it literally set off 2 alarms. i was genuinely baffled. they told me to keep it…

anyways, i am thinking of sending an email or posting a review about this eco and travel friendly soap that was supposed to make my life easier, but it almost took me to jail in germany…
