I wonder if this is a case of "Let's give people something to do so they don't sit and fret about not being able to do anything." It's like how when someone was having a baby, the doctor would tell the nervous person standing around to go boil some water. The water wasn't for anything, really, it was just so that person would have something to concentrate on.
You know what SLAYS me? This whole thing about people buying up all that bottled water. Does anyone not realize you can get all you want for FREE from the tap? Just wash out your milk cartons and soda bottles! Sheesh!
