Who needs to wash their hands when they can lick their hands clean with this morbidly outrageous tongue soap?

[Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-a-wedding-registry) user AJ Sweet Shop molded this [finger licking sanitizer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-mist-limited-edition) with perfect precision. Resembling a real live tongue, the fleshy soap is approximately one and a half inches wide. A few Halloween-inspired scents like Vampire Bites oil have also been added to it as well. Possibly inspired by horror movies, this bar is definitely a worthy addition to the creepy decor for haunted Halloween parties. Though a bit off-putting, there's no denying that this [bar of soap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flamin-hot-bricc-soap) will generate plenty of attention.

The tongue soap, which comes in packages of five, is sure to creep out your guests this Halloween.
