That was my school, until a kid got hepatitis! My mom never let me use a fountain again.

I use Bubba water bottles from Walmart. They are similar to the more expensive ones. I have both metal (for me at work, work outside) and plastic for little dd. Tops interchangable, all goes in dishwasher.

Oh my sweet summer child. How can corporate America make MONEY off of “get a drink from the fountain when you’re thirsty”? People simple didn’t understand how that’s not good enough, so we have businesses and the government pushing this bizarre and expensive cult of hydration.

My DH does this to. I hate it. I don't know why but I hate it.

Just the thought makes me gag.

I clean my invisalign retainers with denture tablets every day. It works great! I never notice a residue or taste.

I bought everyone a new bottle, donated or trashed the rest. All interchangeable parts, just different colors.

This. All the same. All easy to clean.

Some of you are crazy. I buy peach Honest Tea. After drinking tea, put bottles/caps in dishwasher. After washing, fill with water and refrigerate. Each kid gets three bottles. Stop wasting money onbuyinwster.

I put my kleen kanteens in the dishwasher. We have a bunch of identical bottles so there's always a clean one and a cap to be found.
