There's a hierarchy

a class a few years ahead of me got one of the ezh2os as their senior gift. probably the most used senior gift I've ever seen, we were a small school and everyone used it every day. I think it hit 500,000 uses by the time I graduated a few years later

I'm afraid you actually unlearned to write. Are you sure you still can't read what I'm saying?

Not even remotely the same but in the 90's mcdonalds still had salt and pepper shakers on the tables. I knew a guy who loved throwing them in the bag when he got up from the table along with the ten straws he grabbed and wad of napkins. He really was under some serious financial stress in no way due to anything he had done. I refused to use the salt and pepper shakers at his house and he kept bugging me as to why. I told him he didn't want to know but he insisted. Finally I told him about the time I saw some kids going from table to table licking the tops of the shakers. He immediately threw them all away. Later they started to reappear and it was because he figured out at the first of the month they replaced them and the new one usually had the seal left on them.
Before you trash the guy for doing that. The guy made 80 grand one year and could barely afford food. All that money went to paying his wife's medical bills. She had grown up inside the boundary of a superfund site out in new mexico and had all kinds of tumors and other problems. It was called a pre existing condition and his insurance wouldn't pay for hardly anything. They finally divorced so she could get SSI. That was in the early 2000's. This country sucked then and it still sucks.

Why did he need more than 1 or 2 pairs of salt and pepper shakers though? Why did Mcdonalds need to replace them every month instead of refilling them?

The C in the first model name stands for "colored"

Yeah no judgement for being frugal at McD's expense. 1) Fuck McD's, and 2) Do what to gotta do. There was a point in my life where I got meals from the condiment station at a college cafeteria. They had free ketchup, and a hot water dispenser thing for making tea, so I'd make 'tomato soup' by making myself a bowl of hot ketchup water. Couple handfuls of a single package saltines, and there's lunch. Life sucks when you can't afford anything, but it does make you become pretty creative when it comes to saving money.

I’m going to take a guess that throwing away little cheap plastic shakers each month costs less than paying a person to clean and refill them.

So into the landfill they flow!

iirc, they were those plastic shakers that didn't actually have a way to get into them - nothing to unscrew to refill it. They were designed to be used until empty, then discarded and replaced.

Public high school in a sketchy area. You'll see some things.

Ah, you've never used the LMABF8

I do MEP design for commercial buildings in the US. If a job ever shows "EWC", I don't ask for specs, I assume the EZH2O until either the job goes out with that spec, or the client directly refuses to use that model.

Anything less, is uncivilized.

I think it's probably because people in North America generally really like cold water. Virtually every restaraunt will serve all their drinks with ice cubes. I personally find ice-cold water be rather unpleasant, maybe except when it's 30°C outside. These water fountains will refrigerate the water before it's despensed and they have a solenoid to control the water flow, meaning it takes very little force to activate.

The second one reminds me of elementary school because we had exactly that model.

I've seen the EZS8L with a spout on top for us bottle filling homies. ️
