I have had several hotel tragedies like that (and I think I remember your Cheesecake Factory one, Dana!). I started carrying around a nice heavy plastic (not disposable) spork. But then I lost it. (Also how does autocorrect know to capitalize Cheesecake Factory but doesn't know the word spork??!)
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In the isolation of a hotel room I would not hesitate to use my hands (or just my face) to eat anything they bring. No one's looking, I can clean up right there, it's perfect. It certainly wouldn't keep me off cheesecake.

I can top that. Bottle of wine, bubble bath - no corkscrew.

Woo, fancy bubble bath that requires a corkscrew.

It is actually pretty bad for your teeth.
Yeah, but diet soda + swishing a sip of water around after drinking pretty much neutralizes that.
In a carbonated coincidence, I have just stopped drinking soda this week. And caffeine (since I don't drink coffee, that was how I got my morning jolt). I love it, but it was the only liquid I ever drank and I drank tons every day. I want to be healthier. I can't just cut down, tried that before and I am an all or nothing kinda gal. Farewell, dearest Diet Dr. Pepper, you were a true friend.
Scrappy, you know they make caffeine-free Diet Dr. Pepper, right? [link]

meara, it cracks me up that you have your own spork!
My one true soft drink is Ginger Ale. I love when you go somewhere and they have the juke-box-beverage thing where it has 500 choices and one is always Ginger Ale. Ginger Ale (and bloody mary mix) is like the magic beverage that appears at flying altitude and therefore it will always be special.
I drink about 60 ounces of tea a day, though. For my birthday, I received a hydroflask that keeps beverages super hot or cold for 24 hours and doesn't sweat or overheat on the outside. LOVES IT. So that adds to me tea fix because I can have ice and iced tea all day long.
In other news, lunch is egg salad with hatch chilis. I am so happy.

I'm trying to switch to iced tea, but that always has to be made and I'm very lazy.

My grocery stores both carry very good unsweetened iced tea in bottles of about 35-40 ounces. Spendier than tea bags, but good in a pinch.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
