The Next Revolution in Soap Bars

Yes, you read the title correctly. This post is about a revolutionary idea for soap. It finally came to me today and you heard it here first. Are you ready for this? It's going to blow your mind. The idea:

Soap bars with a sliver on the side.

What could I possibly mean by that, you ask?

Well let me start with some background.

It's always aggravated me that at the end of a soap bar's life, the last 5% of the soap bar becomes too small to use. So you either throw it out, or it drops down the drain, or it breaks into little pieces, or it gets stuck on the soap dish, or any number of futile, wasteful demises.

But now, with my idea, you get a new bar of soap, take the old, small bar of soap, and insert it into the small opening on the side of the new bar. Thus, you waste no soap and the old bar gradually melts seamlessly into the new bar as it gets wet from washing. You just saved yourself the aggravation of dealing with an otherwise useless remnant of a soap bar, and you saved a few cents as well. Why not?

Yes, I told you this idea would blow your mind.

Now who will be the wise person to clean up on this free idea?

Viva La Revolution! (But for How Long?)

Just had a thought today. The word "revolution" is tossed around quite frequently in world history or current events discussions.

My question is... at what point does a revolution end?

Example:
So there's a major upheaval in a country, let's say Roughageland. The working class is tired of the way King Broccoli is treating them, so the masses start to simmer, a.k.a. the beginning of the Revolution. One day (after loud chants of "Lettuce Free") the angry mob storms the castle and they cut King Broccoli's head off, and declare Major Zucchini the new leader. Is this the end of the revolution? The old regime is out, the new one is in, life has changed, but it will still take some time for Major Zucchini to make all the necessary changes to bring happiness upon the land. So now that it's back to peas, sorry, peace time, and historians go and write the history books, what are they looking for when deciding when the revolution ended?

And if you think about a revolution in cosmic terms-- as in "it takes one year for the Earth to make one revolution around the sun," which is a very definitive distance and period of time-- how did it become associated with such a vague notion of change in historic terms when there's not always an official beginning or end? Just curious.

Silly questions, I know, but I can't always control when, where, and why these things turnip in my head. But thanks for listening.
