[Platt] Yes, I never understand why yuppies find it necessary to carry a bottle of water around with them at all times. Must have something to do with bottle feeding when babies, and they just can't, or won't, grow up. (After all, "progressive" government will care for them like children.)
[Arlo] Can't have anything to do with foul-tasting tap water or aggressive free-market advertising, can it? Naaaahhh..... Must be "liberalism". [Platt] As for local water supplies that come out of taps, they're clean. My monthly water bill and good health testifies to it. [Arlo] Our tap water tastes horrible. I run a distiller at home on all my drinking water. But even that is far cheaper than buying bottled water, and filling our landfills up with mountains of plastic bottles. But the water where I work tastes fine out of the fountain. Indeed, I fill up my reusable bottle from it. But sitting next to it is a bottled water machine that is empty by the end of each week. Sometimes I do think its a bit like the Starbucks phenomenon, you know, you're "cool" if you're carrying around a "Starbucks" cup, but a Dunkin' Donuts cup or (GASP!) a thermos from home makes you very untrendy and mockable. I know students who actively dislike Starbucks, but tell me they use a Starbucks cup because it makes them appear hip.
