When we moved to Boulder from New York recently we got some really weird looks for buying a plastic bottle of water at the store. I actually felt some joy from receiving that tacit disapproval. Soon after we joined the herd in using stainless steel bottles in our car, backpacks, etc - something we aspired to in New York but was hard to commit to when there's a deli on every corner.

>we got some really weird looks

I have a hard time believing a movie scene played out in the 7-11 with everyone staring at you for buying a bottle of water.

Or, if you looked around and people were crinkling their eyebrows at you, I wouldn't assume it was because of the bottled water.
