Millennials were absolutely the “raised on bottled water” generation. I know multiple people who essentially never drank anything except bottled water because southern California tap water was so yucky.
Happy to say I was gifted an overpriced steel water bottle from one of those name brands and I’ve used it daily for several years
I’m so thankful my university had a bunch of good water dispensers (and normal fountains, of course) around campus that were designed to refill bottles. For a few years basically my only source of water was the canteen I carried with me to campus to drink out of.
Isn’t that a crazy thought? A bottle I could reuse, because I was offered a good way to reuse it.
