Drinking from the garden hose

For whatever reason drinking from the garden hose has become synonymous with generation X. Not really sure why it seems to be such a big deal to the younger people out there. Yes I did it, I still do it, my wife and kids do it.............although to be honest we're all more likely to drink out of the river because it's colder. Do younger generations think the hose water is somehow different than the water from the kitchen sink? 🙄

Gen X are those born between 1965 and 1980, which is WAY before my slot in the alphabet, yet I still drink from the garden hose though in so doing, I'm really not pretending to be one those old people you speak of.

In my case, I've actually become addicted to the taste of pure Gardena rubber who's corporate policy is to use actual rubber when making their garden hoses and not that cheap stuff that's full of polymers and silicone and won't roll up easy. Yes, I've been in and out of rehab but it does no good.
