Divine intern Sam Devine gets soapy:
Laundry day will be different today. I’m using a new hippy product from Santa Cruz to clean my clothes: Soap Nuts, the soap that grows on trees.
Soap grows on trees?
Yeah, turns out Soap Nuts are the dried fruit of the Chinese Soapberry tree. According to a letter from Maggie’s Pure Land Products, people have been using the cracked apricot looking little bastards to wash clothes for thousands of years.
Now, what I could really use are some laundry quarters grown on trees, but I’ll settle for soap.
