Why You Should Never Drink Out of Hotel Glasses

I used to make my little Airborne cocktail every morning in my hotel room, in one of the cute little hotel glasses. At the beginning of the tour. Before I was enlightened. Before someone emailed me this video. I highly recommend you watch this if you travel at all. (To turn off the music, go to the bottom of this page and pause the player.)



Suddenly it doesn't seem so strange that I've been sick so long.

  1. ahhh this explains everything!
    so now we both know the cure to our illnesses...stop using the germ infested glass in the room!

    hope you begin to feel better!

  2. Glad you posted this Mike but it's a lot worse than this, sheets MAY be cleaned some places, but throw up and other bodily fluids remain, some only wiped down as time moves on...busess and plane seats actually showed fleas and live bacteria on another undercover show; I for one travel with my own bedding, glasses that sit in hot water for hours and plastic utencils in package, then again I'm anal about germs...re: bath tubs? They barely EVER get rinsed or washed. People do unspeakable things in their baths alone or with partners and THAT barely ever gets cleaned in a hotel room. Get a foot mat and use a shower, get a sleeping bag and sleep in that and use your own cups and utensils...it's the only way to be safe during travel, no matter where you go

  9. Oh Mike Schmid, how I want to thank you for posting that video.
    I leave for Cancun in 3 days and now I will NEVER use a glass in the hotel.
    I don't want to come home with some mysterious diseases. =p
    Especially since I see you jam on the keyboard 2 days after I come back!
    Can't wait! I love your blog.
    Get better soon! And STAY BETTER! =p

  15. uhm..im ffteen and i thought it was common knowledge that people would at least soak hotel glasses in hot water.
