PROFESSIONAL SOAPMAKER REACTS TO VIRAL SOAP HACKS PART 2

[@maevat4875]

@@safiya I feel like it could work but you would have to be a lot more precise with the white melt and pour

[@safiya]

also also - let's invent some terrible soap DIYs

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Ummm this is the most amazing idea I never thought of. We don’t wait for the bad soap ideas, we create it. 🤩🤩🤩

[@SpeedDemonStar]

I totally agree that it looks suspiciously like a jump cut to a real orange. I can't imagine with how much and the color they put in that it'd look so real... which brings me to my suggestion for a video or even a new series: instead of just showing the hacks and reacting, because you're already so good about telling us why it would or wouldn't work, why not do it their way, show the result, then show us how to do it the right way?

[@lacytaylor1501]

It's just them unmolding the original orange because someone in another comment mentioned they didn't show them removing the orange from the mold, just separating the orange from the edges of the mold. They just slapped the end of the mold prep where the soap unmolding should be.

[@laurenfrances8414]

Have you heard of Ann Reardon? She does a similar thing to your suggestion, but with food

[@SpeedDemonStar]

@@laurenfrances8414 She's part of where I got my inspiration for the idea.

[@rhylla_864]

You could get that effect by painting white over the orang but I'm calling bs on that orange pigment too

[@kendallnorton2017]

Katie! I’d love to see you try old-fashioned soap making techniques! Like making soap without the stick blender in a way people would have done in the days of the Gold Rush or various times. I’m not even sure that information is readily available, but I’d love a historical soap making series!

[@RoyaltySoaps]

A great idea!

I agree with Safiya. THAT is definitely a real orange and NOT a soap. And a resounding YES, PLEASE to a Katie/Saff collab of bad DIY soap ideas video. You two would have a blast and it would be fun to watch the beneficent mayhem that would ensue! 😁😍👍

[@agricolaterrae]

For the orange bit: I think they took that from the Soap Fantasy channel: she's a really talented melt-and-pour artist, who has quite a few incredible home-made silicone molds.

[@Cosmonitten]

YAY a new "Soap Hacks" video, I looooove these! And I have to say: Team Orange all the way! :D

[@RoyaltySoaps]

😂😂😂

[@Niko-uz2fz]

Magnetic soap holders are actually a thing and I love them! But of course it doesn't involve glue, just a little magnetic disc that you push into your soap and the magnetic holder sticks to the wall. It keeps my soap a lot more dry and less slimy than soap dishes do.

[@AliceMaryAnne1]

Girl, just to say you look extra beautiful today. Your eyes are popping and your hair looks all whimsical and casual 💙

[@Andrew_in_the_garden]

It's definitely a real fruit!!!! My reasoning is that as general rule of thumb you can assume a hack is shady when it 1) looks too good to be true, 2) has cuts in the vid before the reveal, and 3) 9:01 I mean look you can see parts of the white peel on the outside bit of the fruit where it supposedly should just have been orange soap when she turns the mold

[@AppleStrawberryLove]

Team orange. The "soap"'s pith thickens in the perfect areas where it typically wouldn't if you were spinning the soap around the mold. It's thickest at the highest point. Normally, if you have a scallop like that, the liquid will pool in the lowest point of the curve. The only way you might be able to combat that would be to spin it constantly at a higher speed that they did so that the centripetal force pulls the soap inward enough to coat the inner parts more. But I suspect you'd be more likely to get it drying midair rather than onto the segments. That said: I think the concept could work, just not exactly so perfectly or in the way they showed. Plus, the jumpcut makes it perfect for switching it back out for a real orange for the final reveal. These viral hack/DIY channels do that all the time.

[@tatiannagraywing]

Wouldn't using a paint brush work to create this effect as well?

[@amyx231]

Milky semi opaque and very liquid soap. Coat and dump out so only a little remains. I say possible.

[@Theworldiscomplex]

Team orange

[@AndiNewtonian]

My husband and I made melt-and-pour soap for Halloween last year. We were aiming for red, orange, and yellow to keep with the fire theme of the rest of our Halloween videos, but the colorants we used were really weak, and it came out Caucasian flesh colored. Which I guess worked for a Halloween soap? But was still pretty ick.

[@Rose-jz6sx]

Oh gross lol

[@vanessarayfox]

This is a small thing, but adding the Caucasian before flesh is so appreciated and makes people feel seen. There are so many different skin tones!!

[@michellem9444]

It's a real orange! When they start unmolding, it has a weird appearance to the top, then all of a sudden, it has that perfect little segmented hole in the middle. It's just a brief, brief moment, but that's all they need for the sleight of hand. Watch closely at the 9:02 mark.

[@forgetmenot277]

Okay I need Evan and Katelyn to try the orange hack, I wanna know if it actually works!!

[@Flafles]

I'm from Brazil, here's a guy ("Peter Paiva" the name of his channel here on KZbin) who works only with glycerin soap, he teaches how to make this orange and the cupcake too

[@lacytaylor1501]

Yeah, Evan and Katelyn or Safiya definitely need to try doing it.

[@lynniev]

I want to see you do the orange soap. It looked suspiciously like a real orange. Also, you looked very beautiful in this video. Hair and makeup were perfect!

[@MultiJordan2005]

Team orange. I'm 90% sure the "soap" they take out is just them taking out the original orange from the mold. It doesn't look like it has an even coating of the white melt and pour, it looks like the original orange

[@katiechurch5175]

Yes! This is one of my favorite videos you do!! Just clicked off another video to watch you as soon as I saw the notification. Thank you so much for doing this love you Katie!

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Hope you enjoyed it!

5:47 i know i know, but my mom actually invented the fish soap style. the used to sell them at craft fairs before someone from a big company came by and asked how they were made, then asked them to make like thousands of them for them. obviously, my mom and Aunt couldn't do that. a month or so later they were showing up everywhere

In regards to the orange soap, definitely just did the cut back to when they released the orange from the mold again as they were "revealing" the finished product.

[@Twilink36]

The difference between your usual ads for Acorn TV in your "core" videos vs this reaction video is hilarious

[@NoodleHausColubrids]

Team soap. That orange soap is using a trick that's pretty common when making PVC food models. It works, they used more soap than they needed to keep it liquid longer as they coated the inside, then dumped out the excess. The temperature difference between the mold and the soap immediately hardens a small amount of it, leaving you with a thin, semi-transparent white soap shell. Add in the orange soap, unmold, and you have a realistic pith on the outside.

[@lacytaylor1501]

That maybe the proper trick for making it, but I feel like in reality they are just using the footage of them unmolding the orange to make the mold. They cut it off after they separate the orange and the edges of the mold, then slapped the part of them popping out the orange where the soap removal should be.

[@Ellulellu]

I think it's soap but they made a new one and put the white stuff on after unmolding🤔

[@butterflyminder]

Yeah, and if they'd shown it happening that way here, I'd buy it. :) Perhaps someone was familiar with the trick and took a shortcut to get what they assumed would be the same result?

[@MorganChaos]

but why would it collect perfectly in the cracks of the orange, which are actually peaks in the mold? to get this effect you would want to coat it (pretty thickly) with orange soap and then fill with white. coating with white first is gonna have the white soap collected in the wrong places.

[@bearpox]

Team Orange definitely, the melt n pour would also settle at the bottom, no way it would cure in time to just settle in the cracks

[@TheWeirdjudd]

After all your and Ann Reardon debunking videos I'm team Orange 🍊 all the way!

[@RoyaltySoaps]

😂😂😂

[@redvinesron]

I wanna see you try the silicone orange! 🍊 and I also agree with the video idea for historical soap making. 😊 Especially after the lily soap from Bridgerton season 2. I'd be very intrigued to see how soap like that would've been made in the 1800s regency era.

[@amandakuzdas4939]

I'm team SOAP, but I think they took the vegetable peeler/knife to the white layer to flake it in spots to look more like the orange pith. It didn't pour like the finished product. Lots of edits. ;) Thank you for the smiles and laughs on this dreary, cold May Monday, Katie!

Team Orange! You can see when they try to squeez it out that the white on the orange is much more visible and looks kind of milky. Then a jump cut and voila... an orange. Maybe it's soap but it's not the same they pulled out of the mold. Why would you cut the video at that specific moment when you also can speed up the footage revealing that it's real.... unless you try to hide something, sneak something in.

[@lacytaylor1501]

It's totally just them removing the orange from the mold after making it since they didn't show that part after separating the mold and orange's edges.

[@olliesaurusrex4103]

The fish bag soap, do you think that'd be possible with the longer moulds? Like, fill it halfway with clear/light blue, let it harden, set fish/other ocean things in it, pour on top like normal? That way, when you cut it, it would look like little aquariums? Woof, typing all that out made me realize how detailed that is never mind lmao

The magnet one reminds me of something i always saw at home or businesses ran by my grandparents generation. Maybe soap dishes were seen as splurgy or something, but i do remember seeing a lot of white and blue soap with a magnet deeply shoved in there. Idk why they needed the cap tbh.

[@anna_in_aotearoa3166]

I guess it saves having to clean the soap dishes, esp. if it was in a time before they were routinely made of plastic...? (Metal or wood ones get particularly grungy, in my experience?) I'm actually seriously considering glueing magnets to my little travel shampoo & conditioner bottles now!! Motels & b&bs rarely seem to have a proper place to put them, and trying to find them on shower floors without my glasses on is both difficult & hard on the back!

[@katierundzieher9630]

ok but Katie the earbuds would make such cute embeds!!

[@christinacolston1083]

Definitely an orange. I will say, my grandparent’s house had matching countertop faucet set that had an extra “spicket” looking soap arm, not dish. It had a magnet in the end and I can’t remember if you had to buy special soap for it or if they sold you a metal adapter that you’d install in the bar of soap yourself. Kinda looked like the pop cap, but the pointed part was inside the soap bar. Worked the same though, magnetized to the underside of the “spicket” arm, just next to the sink instead of the shower. I thought it was very cool as a kid. 😄

[@pinkysistamb]

Team orange, bc you can clearly see how they started taking out the soap from the mold and on the next frame the same soap has hole that separates all the peaces (the natural one). That was the crucial point.

[@stinkertonsden]

I feel like the orange wouldn't hold up to the mold making process but... in theory it would work. The white melt and pour is just enough colorant to make it semi-opaque instead of transparent. Put in enough to roll around the mold then immediately set the mold so the majority drains out leaving just small bits inside, followed by pouring in your orange.
