    I dated a girl who would always bring a bar of soap with her when she slept over. She’d bury it in the sheets at the end of my bed. Said it prevented restless legs.

    …why does that soap have a bite out of it?

      …why does that soap have a bite out of it?

      Because people see the picture and think “What in the world why does that soap have a bit out o fit” and then go ahead and click the link. And after doing various “experiments” over the years, advertisers have found that these sort of practices substantially improve engagement/click-through metrics and ultimately result in higher traffic / sales / ad revenue / etc.
