    Smile remember when... samples?

    remember when samples used to be what's now the "travel sized" version of stuff?

    i was thinking, w/all these posted freebies, how most of the liquid versions of things are in those little hard to open, hard to squeeze out every little drop packets.

    i remember requestion samples and getting travel sized toothpastes, shampoos, detergents, etc.

    i understand why, of course.

    but does any one else remember that?

    Yeah... They were nice. But, it is still nice to get to try stuff for free. I love trying new stuff.

    I consider the sample sizes "travel" size because I can cram a lot more into my 1-quart Zip-loc bag in my carry-on!

    I sure do remember! I am impressed every now and then when I get a travel size vs. mini size.
