i spend my $1 on a bottle of water for the convenience factor.....not what's in it. it's much more convenient to be able to stop and any time and buy a bottle of water with a cap, than carry around a cup, or any other container of my own. like many have mentioned, i refill any and all of my bottles numerous times before they get trashed. my fridge is full or aquafina/ozarka/whatever bottles that are full of water straight from my tap.
and if anyone if that worried about germs, they probably should just swear off water fountains all together. i say a few germs only makes you stronger. :biggrin2:
