That's how much soap base got delivered to my house the other day. The poor UPS guy. For a moment I couldn't remember what I had ordered that would be in such a large box. Then I said, "Oh, that must be the 40 pounds of soap base!". He gave a little grunt of confirmation and asked if I wanted him to put it on the floor :)
In the past, the largest amount I've ever ordered for our company (www.4sisterssoaps.com) is 25 pounds, and never as a huge block, always in 1-, 2- or 5- pound bricks. But this was SUCH a good sale that I couldn't resist.
Glycerin soap isn't hard to cut. But the thing about 40 pounds is that it's rather more like chopping up a small glacier than gently cubing soap bricks into 1-ounce bits.
I shall return tomorrow to cut again! And again....And again....

Hmm. 40 pounds is how much weight I gained when pregnant. I don't think I'd really want to see it in a box hefted by a UPS man...
