The hotel concierge.
The good ones are always in demand and usually underappreciated for what they do for their guests.
But the exeptional concierges are those who will go above and beyond to make their guests’ stays as enjoyable as possible. They will do anything…. ANYTHING…. that the hotel guest asks them to do, and will end up doing it well.
Here are 10 MOST UNUSUAL HOTEL GUEST REQUESTS, and well-deserved thanks that the concierges who managed to pull these off with success:

Animal crackers (such as the familiar red circus train-themed box of Barnum’s Animals that we all know and love) have been around for more than a century. Here are 10 things you may not know about them:
- You can make a game out eating them. Without looking, pop an animal cracker into your mouth, then try to identify which animal shape it is. Of course, it helps if you’ve shown the cracker to a game partner first so you’ll know if you’ve guessed correctly or not. Note that some brands of animal crackers are better suited for this game than others. Crackers that are merely embossed are much more difficult to figure out than crackers that actually are in the shape of the animal in question.
- Depending on who you believe, either 53 different animals have been included in the Barnum animal cracker circus train box over the years (as documented by Jennifer Frey of the Washington Post), or 37 (if you believe Wikipedia).
- The most recent animal added? The koala, in 2002.
- Barnum’s Animal Crackers began in England before being brought over to the United States
- Contrary to popular belief, the name “Barnum” in “Barnum’s Animal Crackers” is not licensed from the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.
- The string handle was added to the decorative box so the boxes could be hung on a Christmas tree.
- Most animal crackers are designed to be round, sturdy creatures so the crackers remain whole during shipping. Alligator crackers won’t ever be made, as it is expected their tails would snap off in the box.
- Each Barnum’s Animal Crackers package contains 22 crackers
- Most people bite the heads off the animals first.
- PETA is anti-animal cookie, as they say that the cookies (with their circus-themed box) promote circus animal misery.
Liz Pulliam Weston over at MSN Money has two companion articles listing the TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY NEW and TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY USED.
Some of the items should be obvious. As Stephen Wright once said, “I went to the store to buy some used paint; it was in the shape of a house.”
For those less obvious, you’ll want to click through the articles to see Liz’s full reasoning behind why each item is on the list.
In February 2009, author Mary Roach gave a TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) talk entitled 10 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT ORGASMS.
You can watch her talk here (and Web Watch highly recommends watching it, if only for the amusing video clip used to demonstrate item #7), but for convenience sake, Web Watch has included Mary’s ten items after the break.
A few days ago, we mentioned that during a recent 60 MINUTES INTERVIEW WITH COLDPLAY’S CHRIS MARTIN, the camera showed a list of the 10 rules that Coldplay has for staying true to themselves and being the best band they could be.
You’ve asked what the other rules are, so here they are:
- Albums must be no longer than 42 minutes
- Production must be amazing, rich, but with space, not overlayered, less tracks more quality. Groove and swing Drums/rhythm are the most crucial thing to concentrate on; diff. between bittersweet and science of silence
- Computers are instruments, not recording aids.
- Imagery must be classic, colorful and different. Come back in glorious technicolor.
- Make sure videos and pictures are great before setting release date. And highly original.
- Always keep mystery. Not many interviews
- Groove and Swing. Rhythms and sounds must always be as original as possible. Once jon has melody, twist it and weird it sonical
- Promo/review copies to be on vinyl. Stops copying problem, sounds and looks better.
- Jaqueline sabriado, ns p cc, face forward
- Think about what to do with charity account. Set up something small but really enabling and constructive.
If you want to see the rules in context, you may want to watch the entire interview yourself.
