OK! I'm not drinkin from a public fountain again...unless I'm in a desert and that's the only source of water around LOL!!!!!!

When is the last time someone cleaned the water fountain in your office, gym, or favorite store? I'm not for bottled water but I am for hygiene. Startnoticing the green growth in the water fountains- a good indication that it has not been cleaned or sanitized lately. Until drinking fountains are clean, people won't likely give up bottled water.
