But how often did we *really* drink from the hose? There was no one telling us we needed to drink 96 oz of water a day. Either way, we definitely did not drink filtered water.

If you're a boomer, that landline would've been a party line & that book of CDs would've been a case of 8-track tapes. The good ol' days.
