For me...at least 5 years ago! I am almost afraid of them now, because I always feel that when I do come to one that it will be all crappy tasting and full of crud because it hasn't been used in a long time...

I dunno, it sure seems like they are fewer and far between now. ANd the ones with actual cold water that's at least semi-filtered, and shoots out further than a lips-length from the spout, rarer still.

I use them all of the time. There is only one I can recall where the water tasted disgusting but I spit it out and never drink from it anymore.
