I think it concerns me most that the soap tasted so nice that it didn't once occur to me it was soap.
I did something similar last week. I squirted some dish washing liquid into my coffee cup and washed it - which I never do, putting the soap directly on the inner surface of the cup, because I never get it rinsed well enough after. This time for some reason, I did. I even thought about it while I was doing it and did it anyway.

Luckily for me my dish washing liquid doesn't taste good, so I knew after the first sip that I'd messed up. Wasted a whole cup of coffee, though.
