00:00When did hydration become a full-time job?
00:03We've developed relationships with our water containers
00:05and have turned them into emotional support bottles.
00:08I can't possibly leave home without little Drippy.
00:11So just how did we get here?
00:13Back in 1945, the government recommended
00:15consume the equivalent of eight glasses of water a day.
00:19Now the key word there, equivalent.
00:20That means coffee, juice, soups, even the milk on your cereal.
00:25But as the years went by, we erased the whole equivalent part.
00:28And the rule simply became, consume eight glasses of water a day.
00:33And that's when the beverage manufacturers took notice.
00:36Okay, hear me out.
00:37What if we sold water?
00:39Genius!
00:40Eventually, reusable bottles turned water containers into fashion accessories.
00:45And suddenly, hydration went from a casual suggestion to a competition.
00:49But just remember, if you do ever forget your fancy thermal hydration cylinder,
00:54there's always the garden hose.
00:56Always wondered.
