A travel hack for carrying soap effortlessly has taken Instagram by storm, racking up over 13 million views. Shared by vlogger @asha.bajetha, the video, titled “Best travel hack I found on the internet,” demonstrates a unique method of shaving off small soap pieces using a vegetable peeler. The vlogger collects these tiny soap curls in a small box, carrying them in her handbag for easy access while traveling.

The hack has sparked mixed reactions. While some praised its convenience—eliminating the hassle of carrying wet soap—others dismissed it as a “solution to a problem that never existed.” One comment humorously likened the soap shavings to “Pears macaroni,” while another quipped, “Paper soap crying in the corner.” Many users suggested that paper soaps, mini liquid handwashes, or travel-sized soap bars would be simpler alternatives.

However, supporters of the hack pointed out its benefits, particularly for those particular about their soap brand. “Pears is a great choice; paper soaps dry out the skin,” one comment read. Others appreciated that this method prevents mess and clutter.

The debate continues, leaving travelers to decide—innovative or impractical?
