In Ghana they sold water in plastic bags everywhere, so you just got a bag and drank it straight away. Same thing here I guess, not possible to carry it around.

Yeah, now I want one...

Am about your age and was thinking the same! I was an adult when YouTube was widely known.

Yes that's kind of a pet peeve of mine. I understand that sleep deprived parents sometimes need to put their kids in front of their phones. But in recent years I have noticed that they just blast the sound really loud and don't care about any other human being. I'm really shy but after almost freaking out on a train ride because of two different kids just watching something full volume I have asked parents to tone it down. They were even kind of embarrassed and nice about it. I have no idea how you can be so disconnected to your surrounding... The worst were grandparents with a 2 year old kid during a kids theater and they just let the kid watch a show with the volume up. I mean what about all the other kids who are performing and you sit in the middle with a phone just blasting full volume. They wanted to stop him and then he started throwing a tantrum. They just laughed and were like oh he's so cute and we can't do anything about it. Fuck that's not cute, if you want to watch a tv show with volume, just sit outside of theater with your little brat!

It really doesn't? We had an exchange doctor and she always complained why we had so many YouTube ads and I always wondered why she was so vocal about that. Makes sense now if she was used to no ads at all!
