That's fair for sure and I don't mean to imply that there is no value in this, but at the same time, for many folks, if only going away for a week a travel size container is probably sufficient. Sun tan lotion makes sense (though even there, some destinations may indeed be cheaper than in the UK). Again, it's certainly a step forward, but there will be many, many cases where it doesn't provide that much of a real benefit.
