@[email protected] to the rescue! My knight in snooting armour remembered that he was the one who has sent me the smush of today's theme soap. Armed with the knowledge that I hadn't dreamed the smush's existence, I looked again and found it.

Yayyy, my first soap match! Thanks, snooting!

Also, I learned from snooting that any identified error in another sub member's SOTD counts, not just dules violations in the SOTDs of fellow participants in AS2EB. I have no idea how I missed that before. Anyway, there's a funny typo in scribe's SOTD that I was the first to point out. +3 points, nice.

You found it! What did you think of the scent?

Also that’s an even more generous interpretation of the rule than I’d taken, but I have to admit the rule’s wording allows for it.

Tbh, i rushed the shave a bit, so its too early for a verdict. I got a distinct coca cola note, and I'm positivity intrigued. I'll try it again soon
