[quote=Anonymous]When at or around home we drank ice cold tap water from the white plastic milk jug straight from the jug, always while standing in front of the open fridge door.

The extra blast of coke air was refreshing.

Snacks were carrots with salt or celery with peanut butter. If we were really hungry you made a sandwich or toast.

Salt helps retain water and the natural foods contain a lot of water.

In our free play time we usually didn’t stray far from home or a friends home so if you needed a glass of water you got one from someone’s house.

Everywhere else you just drank from the  refrigerated silver water fountains and they were everywhere.

We were also a lot thinner back then so also had less mass to hydrate.

We had thermoses, for family outings, sports activities or work.

And we had much better tolerance for discomfort. Being thirsty was uncomfortable,  but in a country with plentiful, on demand and safe drinking water, being thirsty isn’t life threatening. It wasn’t then and it isn’t now. [/quote]
