Last time I packed light I got stuck for a week and rewore the same stuff over and over. I bought tide pods and did laundry and now I don't travel without a small pack for emergencies

I bought tide pods

As emergency travel snacks go, I've had worse

You should consider laundry powder instead, less chance of rupturing and making a sticky mess. Plus its cheaper and just as efficient :)

True!

But if it bursts and gets sticky, it's just pre-soaped for easy washing.

Put the white laundry powder in unmarked Ziploc bags, portioned out in small amounts for easy use. Airport security love it when you keep everything neat like that

Nothing like doing laundry in the bathroom sink of a cheap hotel in Hanoi at 3am because a typhoon has shut down the airport and your flight got cancelled.

This was my preferred version of this joke
