Clarified butter
Macaroni & cheese
no regrets? You'd just get up and go to bed covered in the stickiness?
A non-Newtonian fluid
Honey
least regretable
The only one thatβs physically repulsive to imagine though. It would be so sticky

Vanta Black
I'm gambling that the experience of it would mitigate how much of a pain in the ass the repercussions would be.
Edit: I suppose I ought to have looked before, but this appears to be not the healthiest decision (who'd have thoughβ½). Maybe we'll go with some kind of closest equivalent nontoxic paint?
On the morbidly curious side of things, I do wonder what such a person looks like. You would just notice the eyes and the hair. Everything else would just be stark contrast.
There's also the whole, "went vanta black face" issue
Vanta black face is only 2d racism.Which is a measurable amount, but incomparable to 3d racism.

Heinz Baked Beans.
Baked Beans
Excuse you, this isn't unconventional at all, 69,000,000 Brits do it every morning
no regrets?
Gallium? It's solid at room temperature, but your own body heat will melt it, so you lie down on a solid block of metal and then slowly sink into a melting puddle in the middle of it. It's non-toxic and six times denser than water so you'd be really floaty on it too
Sounds like something out of a horror film. Your body heat melts you into the material. Then, as heat gets distributed and you have more skin contact, you are no longer generating enough heat to keep the gallium melted.
You either suffocate as the material solidifies around your abdomen or you freeze to death as the material pulls enough heat from you to kill you.
Shit
This was my first thought. Terrifying! Claustrophobia has entered the chat.

150 litres of Gallium would cost $130800
Well that does make it quite regrettable for most people, I suppose

the physical description also applies to butter
It might act like a giant heatsink tho, making your body cool out as soon as it starts melting and creating proper surface contact. But chilling in 20Β°C water is also not really an issue so i guess it depends on the thermal conductivity of the skin/gallium interface.
I'm sure an Infinite ice bath has an appeal to someone

Zero sugar energy drinks.
No sugar means its not gonna get sticky, it'd rinse right off.
I imagine a bunch of creams already use the b vitamins you'd get since they love shoving b vitamins in those.
And it'll actually drain when you're done and a quick rinse will get everything normal afterwards.
coke zero, no question. diet coke? no thank you. Pepsi max? gtfo
Imagine rocking up to the weird bath house all prepped to bathe in Coke and theyβre like, βOh, sorry. We only have Pepsi.β
Warm egg custard
Maybe coconut water or aloe vera gel, I imagine it'd feel weird but probably not regrettable.
I guess we've got to beat Cleopatra as our baseline with her bath of asp milk.
Marmite would probably veer into the regrettable category, and I'm saying that as a marmite enjoyer
coconut water
in a heartbeat
aloe vera
I can imagine this feeling really tingly after a while, though not sure why.
asp milk
what is this? I googled and found nothing
marmite
I too partake joyfully in that hellish sludge, and have wondered what depths of depravity I would willingly go to to satisfy that dark craving
Wikipedia says donkey milk was used by Cleopatra, not asp milk. Maybe OP meant ass milk and got autocorrected, but that sounds really wrong.

Ah I got my history slightly wrong, she bathed in donkey milk and just liked asps (a kind of snake)
