While technically feasible with pure soap in small amounts (which is lye fully reacted with food grade oil/fats), the stuff you find in stores will have stuff like:

If you need to do this experiment for some reason, make sure you know exactly what is in it. Most likely any “safe-ish” soap is more expensive than antacids or food-grade chalk.
Fun fact: Old timey cheap industry soap (plain tallow and lye) used to be popular with rats and mice.
