The time is 1775. Abigail Foote is making soap, the 17-hundreds way, mixing fat and ash. When all of a sudden, in the blink of an eye, she is not in her home anymore. Everything looks different. She is now in the soap aisle of a Walmart drug store in March 2022. First, she gets adjusted to the brightness of the fluorescent lights above. Then, she looks at the isles, noticing different brands and colors of soap. This surprises her, since the soap she's used to is brownish black. When she gets a closer look, the soap has a fragrant scent, not the rancid stench of her 17-hundreds soap. The texture amazes her too. It's not slimy or lumpy, it's smooth. She asks a nearby customer what this solid block of soap's purpose was, and they respond with "It's used for cleaning yourself, what did you think it was used for?" Abigail is shocked by the fact that people clean themselves in this new era. In her time, bathing was considered dangerous. At one of the large screens above the checkout area, which was also new to her, Foote noticed an advertisement for soap. The soap in the commercial created suds as it was rubbed against the skin of the model in the advertisement. There was also liquid soap, which was like Abigail's soap, only it was a light color and had a sweet scent, not dark and putrid. And a few seconds later, she blinks, and she is back in the 1770s. She was amazed by how her concoction would become so much more useful. Afterwards, she resumed stirring her soap.
