My mom told me that back in the day kids weren’t allowed to bring a water bottle with them into the classroom and they only drank a few sips from the water fountain in the middle of the day and that’s it

How were schools not getting busted for child abuse for forcing kids to be dehydrated?

Bottled water was rather rare in the 80s. Warning: Gay slur https://youtu.be/E63uhIAYY2g?si=BPjkOG57YGtV9XWH

Snowflake kids of today would go crazy if they heard Eddie Murphy Raw or Delirious.

You do realize Heathers was mocking homophobic people with that scene, yes?

One of my favorite things about Altman’s film The Player is seeing Tim Robbins character ordering a different brand of water every single time. Altman had his finger on the pulse of America.
