From Appropedia
Tyler Durden: Now, ancient people found their clothes got cleaner if they washed
them at a certain spot in the river. You know why?
Narrator: No.
Tyler Durden: Human sacrifices were once made on the hills above this river. Bodies
burnt, water speeded through the wood ashes to create lye.
Tyler Durden: This is lye - the crucial ingredient. The lye combined with the melted
fat of the bodies, till a thick white soapy discharge crept into the river.
