Why Americans do not men wear speedo ?

Marketing and the media have an interesting way of working.
When they do their trap and we do “NOT fall into” we think how ridiculous was the trap and we looking down upon those that do fall into the trap.
But when we fall into the trap we don’t know and we think that we took free decisions. A bottle of Dasany to drink, or a coke (or Pepsi) we think it was a decision voluntarily and that is the trap ..

Btw you probably mean Dasani and as my grandmother used to live where it was bottled I can say that the tap water for the residents of the town is of excellent quality (in fact all in the UK exceeds the European Union's minimum purity standards).

A plug for Pro Swimwear* as their website indicates thirteen brands available and which has acted as a sort of speedo wikipedia for me:

*rather appropriately from Bridgwater as that's precisely what's been flooding them since Christmas in Somerset with too much rain
