In the Year 2025 :: Hotel Bathtubs Will Mold To Your Bodies and Other Experimental Stuff

These bathtubs are no longer allowed in the year 2025.

Hotel Interactive has an interesting story about (cue loud announcer voice) the future of hotel technology!

According to the report, last year the design firm Getty's and the Hospitality Design Group rounded up 100 industry "experts" to come up with 1,000 technological ideas that could be popular by 2025, some of which sound intriguing and others that are downright wacky.

Starting today and into next week, we'll examine some of these ideas and encourage you to weigh in on their viability, because if you don't speak up, you could wind up with a toilet in your hotel room that dissects the contents of your pee. (For reals.)

Today we're discussing the prospect of bathtubs that mold to the shape of a guest's body, which have the added benefit of conserving water. Frankly, we find this kind of creepy, but maybe that's just the claustrophobic in us talking.

Imagine the horror if you get stuck: I've been molded and I can't get up! And forgive us for being TMI, but what if you and your honey are in one of those heart-shaped tubs that populate the Poconos? Whose body mold wins out?

Though we guess such an amenity is a bonus for anyone who's ever wanted an imprint of his or her arse. Perhaps that could be a selling point: Included in your stay is a complimentary mold of your buttocks, framed as a keepsake of your getaway.

This sounds kinda terrible. But if hotel spas are doing molds of pregnant bellies, this doesn't seem too crazy now, does it?

What do you think? Do you want a mold of your butt or not? Put down your thoughts in the comments below.
