Travel ULPT Request: Most expensive thing you’ve ever taken from a hotel room without being fined/charged?

We’ve all probably taken the extra shampoos, soaps, q-tips, k-cups, etc… maybe even a towel or two 😉. Any other stories?

Failed stories are welcome too so we know what NOT to do 😜.

As someone that spent a few years selling soap to hotels... this cracks me up.

Most high end body products that go to hotels use a much different and cheaper formula than they sell retail. They use the same branding, same label, etc.

I can't speak for this specific brand... but it is a very common practice.

I always figured they just went and bought suave and then poured that shit into their “branded containers” that are locked on the shower walls.

Suave lotions are so bad and feel like watered down that your skin would feel so dry and scratchy.

Ugh their deodorant is the worst. Looks like Secret, DEFINITELY not Secret!

“Locked” l o l. I just assume those have piss/jizz in them and avoid them like the plague.

Can you name any specific brands that do this?
