Yes, it reminds me of the “Americans designed a pen that can be used in space, Russians just used pencil” joke. Even though that joke is wrong… graphite breaks off and is a fire hazard… in this case using dispensers seem to eliminate this problem and the massive apparatus used to support it. Maybe Hilton guests just really like their bar soap? How many people don’t bring their own anyway?

> How many people don’t bring their own anyway? I never bring my own, because there's always good soap at every hotel. I used to have a soap caddy when I was in college and it got so gross, and was occasionally lost, that I just don't want to deal with it. I'm picky about shampoo and conditioner, so I bring my own in travel containers.

  I always bring my own because there's never good soap. I wear a motorcycle helmet all day for weeks, so I need The Good Shampoo.

  I just use a 3n1 product that is body wash, shampoo, and conditioner all in one... Makes like simple, keep in a 3 oz squeeze bottle for airport security theater even though i do not really fly anymore.

    That doesn't work for my hair. There's a reason most people buy separates.

I bring my own because scent is an irritant.

I had thought the Russians used grease pencils rather than graphite, yet again inverting common knowledge tropes. Is that not the case?

Stepping out of the house I always bring my own unscented soap. Perfume allergy is a reality for thousands of people. If I accidentally wash my hands with scented soap I got 20-30 minutes of itchy nose and wheezing before the smell wears off :/

  Same here! Accidentally using most commercial restroom soap is almost an emergency for me. It’s even a problem to travel in a car with someone else who has washed their hands with it recently. If I get that type of fragrance on my hands I have to wash it off with unscented soap as soon as possible.
