Soap is a base, so I think a acid would be it's natural enemy. I say sulfuric acid should do the trick.

nope. a really strong base will do the same thing as acid.
Plus remember they used vinigar to stop the reaction.

well yeah.. so vinigar.. which is a base, was used to stop the reaction of the Lye.. which is an acid

edit : er, other way around.. so the vinegar would kill the soap.. or at least it should

i rarely see it going anymore whenever i go thru Greenvalley Rd and Fransisco.

that was a pretty good one though...to close a lane has to be some good rep!

There was still a bit of "snow" when we went to Kragen yesterday around noon. The fountain is shut down.

yeah, after they cleaned it up on Friday, they turned it on for about 2 hours then had to shut it off because it was starting to foam up again....
