You're Done Here, Buddy

During the last three weeks of August, I was temporarily employed as a summer camp counselor at Kid’s Outdoor Club in San Francisco. While there are no doubt multiple perks to working at a summer camp–eating PB & Js while the campers aren’t looking, meeting and greeting cute moms during pick-up and drop-off etc.– those that have worked in summer camps know that there is nothing better than stockpiling on left-over Lost & Found items. The item I acquired, and which will serve as the subject for today’s post, is the metallic water bottle. This product represents a more healthy and environmentally sustainable to the conventional Nalgene, argue some environmentalists: http://www.eartheasy.com/article_nalgene_bottles.html

Yet, a recent sip from a KLEEN KANTEEN I acquired from the aforementioned Lost & Found left me pondering how Done Here, Buddy these so called “better options” actually are. Milliseconds after taking my first sip from the newly acquired metal water bottle, I couldn’t help but notice a horrible metallic aftertaste. Unacceptable! I was hoping for the taste of natural H2O, not a science project gone Done Here, Buddy.

The metallic water bottle seconds away from getting canned.
