In the current climate, where we’re now all deliriously mumbling 'Happy Birthday' in a handwashing haze, it’s easy to let your mind drift.
And you may be finding out that the unbroken monotony of days trapped in your apartment has interesting and unexpected mental side effects. Things that you’d ordinarily identify as slightly weird become much harder to spot.
Perhaps this explains why a Canadian woman was able to go several days frantically scrubbing herself with what she assumed was soap, only to discover that it was in fact cheese.
Sharing the blunder on Reddit, the experience proves that even when you’re being exceptionally scrupulous, stupid things can still happen.

According to a post shared on the popular online platform, Vancouver resident “Miley” made the mistake after accidentally leaving a piece of stale yellow cheese next to her sink after a night of merry-making.
As she explained in a hilarious caption accompanying a photo of the offending cheddar: "Just realized my soap wasn’t working because it’s literally a block of cheese."

Miley went into further detail in an interview with CafeMom, in which she explained:
"It was a couple days of 'Why isn’t this foaming?!' I come to realize it was a dried-out square of Tillamook sharp cheddar cheese… I suspect i left it out when i was intoxicated and just forgot."

One person wondered: "But that must mean...... have we been eating Mac&Soap the entire week??", while another added, "Does that mean you put the soap in the fridge?"
However, not everyone was so quick to mock. As one sympathetic commenter pointed out: "To be fair to you it does look like a block of soap."
In times like these, everyone needs to be extra vigilant. So we remind you all to keep an eye out for errant pieces of parmesan loitering near a sink.
