Do You Throw Out the Sliver?

In another thread one poster commented that the last sliver of the soap gets thrown out as it is too tiny to use effectively.

When I was a girl, a Dutch lady who had lived through the Second World War told me how soap was so hard to obtain and precious at that time, that they would wet the sliver and "paste" it to the new bar and let it dry. That way the sliver would be used up. I thought that was a great idea and have done it ever since (looking back, that's over 35 years, sigh).

I never throw out the sliver, nor do I mess around with saving them up and remelting and moulding them or whatever.

What do you do with YOUR sliver?
