seals under the lids of the M&G mini bottles in SkyClub showers

I get why they exist, but at 0630 (after probably the least comfortable night I've ever spent in a D1 flat-bed seat) I completely forgot about them ... of course my hands were already wet when I realized why nothing was coming out of the body wash bottle, and I had to tear the damn thing off with my teeth ... and of course when repeating the process for the shampoo, the damn seal flap came off in my teeth and I had to use the cap nut on the shower seat to puncture the seal

I've done the drill enough that now I always remember to remove the seals before I get in the shower. My rant is that they come sooo thick and concentrated that you have to squeeze really hard and/or turn it upside down and wait for the contents to shift around before you can get anything out of them.

I take them with me and invariably end up mixing in some water and rotating the bottle into different orientations over a few days to thin it out to a more manageable consistency

Secondary rant: when they subsequently leak out into the ziploc bag on my 2nd segment and get shampoo all over my travel size toothpaste/mouthwash. Although, I've taken to saving the seal and putting it back on when I'm done in an effort to avoid this

I'm confused. Do you mean soup ladies, or soup ladles?

I've done that too, but in checked luggage. Not sure how TSA would react to a ziploc in a ziploc. OTOH I have GE/PreCheck so unless it's PreCheck-lite I guess I don't care.

my basic 3-1-1 bag is a heavy clear-ish zippered bag that came with a rollaboard a couple years ago; I fold one end under to get it to look more-or-less quart-bag dimensionally, and have never had an issue with either configuration or contents

I do a Ziploc inside a Ziploc all the time due to having some small bottles that tend to leak «somehow». Never, EVER had a question or a problem, anywhere in the world.

When we make up time and get there faster from one coast to the other before I can get all my work done. Cant they at least slow down a little or get in a holding pattern so I can finish my excel and power point work.

Oh I got one more.

You can ONLY fit 13 mini Woodfords into a 1Q bag (or so I have been told)!

I've been playing the WFBF game so much that I haven't been accumulating miniatures
