| | I remember when I was a kid (well a younger kid  ) in school , about 5th grade or so we were allowed to have water at our desks in case we got thirsty. Most kids had water bottles, most of them the fancy bike water bottles. I had an old army canteen. I thought it was cool so I used it. Still do think it's cool. I got picked on though, mostly because kids are mean and pick out whoever isn't going with the rest of the herd and give them a hard time. I didnt care too much though. Anyway, that's not what this post is about haha. This post is about the commercialization of the army surplus (style) canteen, and the fact that they are now being sold as fashion accessories. Don't believe me? Check this out http://www.uscanteen.com/catalog.html . I really do hope it takes off like wildfire. Not because I want to be able to feel normal carrying a canteen around with me (as we know, I ditched normal on a back road many years ago. At this point he's probably wandering around northern Wisconsin looking for his iphone or something, hopefully I never meet him again.) I hope it becomes a fad that takes off because then I will be able to point back and say how I wasn't weird, I was just ahead of my time. Like the Sega Dreamcast.
