What are bottles of soap or cigarettes?

Bottles of soap or cigarettes are containers that hold things you can use every day.

Imagine you have a big jar full of jellybeans, you can’t eat them all at once, so you put some in smaller bags to take with you. That’s like what happens with bottles of soap or cigarettes. A bottle is just a special kind of container that holds soap (which helps clean your hands) or cigarettes (which people smoke).

What's Inside the Bottle?

A bottle of soap is like a big bag of jellybeans, but instead of jellybeans, it has little pieces of soap. When you need to wash your hands, you can squeeze some out and use it, just like taking a handful of jellybeans from a bag.

A bottle of cigarettes is similar, but instead of jellybeans, it holds long thin sticks that people light on fire and take a puff from, kind of like how you might blow on a dandelion to make the seeds float away.
