    Okay hear me out. Do this, lick the plate, see if you can taste the soap. Dishwashing soap is food safe (in the sense that you can only intentionally poison yourself with it) so taste is the only thing that matters. You could even do a blind taste test to really get scientific with it.

      I was led to believe that soap left on dishes can give you diarrhea or worse.

      I mean, dishwashers and even washing machines for clothes have a rinsed cycle for a reason, I’d bet.

        Having experience drinking water from a glass that wasn’t rinsed, I agree you shouldn’t ingest dish soap.

        Not to mention that soap alone doesn’t get rid of food particles, it’s the water’s job to carry it off the dish and down the drain.

      Yeah, its food safe and everything but the whole point of soap is that it clings to the shit you don’t want on the dish so that you can rinse away all the food scraps and oils.

      Won’t hurt me but it’s weird watching how long it takes a glass that wasn’t rinsed well to dissipate foam. An alarmingly long time when pouring carbonated drinks or something viscous like milk.
