In Illinois, they've figured out how to save the planet: They're snatching the mini-shampoo bottles off your sink at that pricey hotel you're staying at and making you use a big communal bottle instead.
No more cute souvenirs of your travels for you.
According to Illinois Policy, which appears to be a local think tank:
The days are numbered for small shampoo bottles in Illinois hotels because of a new law signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
Hotels with more than 50 rooms are banned from providing single-use plastic bottles of shampoo, mouthwash and other toiletries starting July 1, 2025.
If a hotel has less than 50 rooms, the law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2026. Hotels will then be expected to transition to refillable containers or face a written warning followed by a fine of up to $1,500.
Washington, New York and California have enacted similar laws. The Illinois General Assembly previously had a bill that would have banned the use of Styrofoam containers, but a partial ban passed instead that applies only to state facilities and agencies.
This has the same stupid and oppressive logic as Gov. Gretchen Whitmer banning sales of garden seeds even at allowed-to-be-open Wal-Mart in Michigan during COVID's lockdowns, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg banning 7-Eleven's Big Gulps and stealing salt shakers off diner tables for diners' own good.
It's obnoxious and futile for the purposes stated in the extreme. But it certainly does satisfy the Democrat urge for power.

Prixter.
Insanity.
They’ll just now be for sale in the gift shop.
What about grocery stores or mini marts?
wonderful!
i’ve still got one of those offensive tiny shampoo bottle from a trip I took some time ago
maybe Prixter’s creation of a shampoo shortage will cause my little shampoo bottle to become super valuable now? I will list it on ebay for $6,789,003.69
and plan on retiring SOON!
YIPPEE
Are tampons required yet?
Reason #52,364 not to ever visit the place or worse, hold a meeting or convention there.
If Fred Flintstone really wanted to contribute to saving the planet, he would go on a major diet. You don’t get that big eating tofu.
Now he’ll likely legislate the removal of ‘rinse and repeat’ from from full sized shampoos bottles.
nope. a slightly larger than the limit bottle will be available at the counter for only 4.99
They’re finally getting rid of those stupid mini shampoo things. It’s about time a politician stopped grandstanding did something that gets to the root of our problems! Looken sharp Governor Pritzger!
ha! you got it nailed. that’s exactly what will happen
Meanwhile, 2 weekends ago, 33 shot, 6 dead in Chicago.
Fat piece of s___!
This means people will buy bigger bottles of shampoo and will leave them behind because as they go to the airport where big bottles of anything liquid are banned they would be thrown away.
Another politician creates a BIGGER problem.
>making you use a big communal bottle instead.
They will probably use the big communal bottle to recycle the used bars of soap. There used to be a TV ad for one of those.
With all IL’s problems, the Dems and their Gov. Pritzger do this??
Satisfying a kneejerk urge to exercize bureaucratic power...
With all the world’s severe problems, leave it to a dimmocrap to find something REALLY important to take action on!
Because clean hair is one of the biggest threats to the planet. And Democracy!
Next up, toilet paper.
Once more Governor Fat Ass costs businesses in Illinois more money with his idiocy.
It makes as much sense as the TSA 3 oz. size limit does.
Will Illinois ban the sale of all travel size containers?
Maybe everything should be sold as Sam’s/Costco size containers to really save the planet.
