<digh> Dreams dashed? Apparently, not everything on TV is true.

Nope, its true, I only drink from water bottles and I am only willing to take one sip each. Spit is nasty. Go through about 1,200 a day myself, my wife is worse! And Katrina was just a cover-up for the better part of Des Moines dropping their bottles at once, and then fumbling on 15 more each. It was horrible.

18.7 billion bottles works out to ≈60.6 bottles per American per year, or about one bottle per person every six days.

About 1 bottle per person per week. Sounds about right to me.

Yeah, guys, when I'm on the road, I sometimes have way too much time on my hands. I'm just trying to illustrate how so many people hear crap on the boobtube and just assume it to be true without questioning it.

Mitch, the ad said 100 MILLION times, not 101 times. Using your math, it comes up to about 1 million bottles per person every six days.

Doesn't seem about right to me.

It'll be good to get home on Friday so I can get back into my toybox. You know, the big box in the basement with a combination lock on the front.

Granted the Americans are abroad, Forces in Kuwait/Iraq/Afghanistan use about 20-30 Bottles a day per troop, Sometimes higher depending on month and activities.

so I Guess what I am saying I believe with all factors considered, It might be Possible.
Your experience may not be typical, Mileage may Vary, etc etc etc...
