Hmm, google news lists 157 "articles" in the past week,
all quoting the same single solo one new york times article,
that doesn't make this a growing trend/movement (bigger than a fad)


Like I said, not sure what qualifies as a fad,
there are no numbers attached to the vague definition,
but I'm pretty sure if the local local news
doesn't report on a "fad" in their own back yard ,
it can't possibly be considered a fad by anyone anywhere
...
ok maybe its a fad in that one store that sells the water
..
