The Water Bottle Scandal

"Everyone has seen it," My best friend Brian said to me one day at lunch. "But nobody has actually tried to make a business. We buy 24 packs of different kinds of water, print up labels with whatever equations they need for their next test, slap it back on and sell it."

I thought about it, and I thought it was stupid. Could this really work? Who was going to have the materials to do that?

"Hey Mitch, doesn't your dad have one of those high-tech, multi-material printers?" Darrell, the loud one, asked me. I wanted to say no. But he did. I could make the labels.

"Think of all the money." Brian said.

"And the girls." Darrell added.

I looked across at the table next to us and made eye contact with her. Fuck, she'd kill me. Or she'd love me.

"How do we do this?"

And the rest was history.
