It’s impressive that someone managed to design hotel toiletries with screw caps that are designed to both be impossible to open and to feature a sharp collar that will punish you for trying

and I’m suspicious of its origins: Oxfordshire (Blenheim) and Cornwall (Penhaligon) seems an unlikely pairing!

I like how you manage to make their crafstmanship an accomplishment, while hating them (a little) at the same time.

Ah, Penhaligon's! The kind of business established when one had staff to do that kind of thing for one

That's really stupid (of the company, not you.) Penhaligons is a high-end brand with excellent scents; it's a shame they screwed up packaging this badly.

Seems like something Crowley would do.

My last motel stay has given me the idea that everyone should travel with vice grips.

everyone should own one of these www.harborfreight.com/rubber-strap...

Glass on glass?

Those are the toiletries that are safe to take home with you because they won't leak in your luggage.

You've clearly made the mistake of thinking that those toiletries are designed to be used. They are for show. If you manage to use them, you will discover that the quality of the product is low
