While I was
studying for
midterms this week, an interesting question was
brought to surface. (It is my theory that many interesting questions are thought up when there are high levels of
stress,
fatigue, and
deadline about)
But let me
get to my point... Why do
drinking fountains have 2 holes for the water to come out of?
I realize that the
sales department is not quite the appropriate place to ask such a question, but it's the only address I've found on short notice, and I figure you could relay it on to appropriate people.
Thank you for any consideration or response you give to this e-mail.
(And by the way, our
dorm's
drinking fountain is one of yours and has served us well and faithfully... just thought you'd like to know.)

Good Afternoon!
Halsey Taylor has been satisfying thirsts since 1912. We are known foremost for our
exclusive,
patented Double
Bubbler which has two separate streams of water that converge at the
apex of the
arc to provide an
abundant pyramid of
water. This simply forms a fuller, more satisfying
drink for the user.
The flow rate is the same with two streams of water or one; however, when the two streams arc together it produces a flatter effect also making it easier for a person to drink from as
well as providing a bigger mouthful of water.
Glad Halsey Taylor has served you well over the years.
Thank you for your kind
comments.
