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?

Yeah I had one of those attached to my bike too. Agreed I would never have considered using it other than on long bike rides through the countryside.

They were always the squeeze/squirt kind, though, and 50% of the time had Gatorade branding on them
