> San Francisco has now banned plastic water bottles at public events and spaces,
Wait, is this a joke? SF doesn't permit me to carry a plastic water in public?
Of course it's a joke (well, bad reporting from TechCrunch - I am shocked, just shocked, to discover that) -- the actual restriction is that you can't SELL new single-use single-serving plastic water bottles (below 21oz) on city property. I wouldn't be surprised if this just 'gentrifies' bottled water sellers in food trucks into only selling the 1L bottles for $5+ instead of having more readily available smaller bottles.
Nope, it results in events like cirque du soliel selling cheap aluminum reusable water bottles for $6 (with what is likely an insane margin) and offering a fill-it-yourself water fountain.
Unless you brought your own it costs twice as much as a normal plastic water bottle likely would, and you have to wait in TWO abysmally long and slow lines to get your beverage vs one.
