He explained it to 'Jack' and gave him an illustration. However 'Jack' still wasn't getting it...




So here's the answer to the question in one lump.



"What's that smell?"

Hotep.

PS. Chuck Palahniuk wrote 'Fight Club'.

He, Tyler Durden, explains it at least twice during the movie. "The first soap was made from the ashes of the sacrificed". Therefore soap symbolically represents suffering.
