Talk about a chatty Cathy: a water fountain that talks back. Y&R New York and VML New York created a Drink Up Fountain for the Partnership for a Healthier America's Drink Up initiative that encourages people to drink more water. When someone's lips touch water, the fountain talks. When that person steps back in shock when the fountain speaks, the voice stops. The Drink Up Fountain looks like any other water fountain you might see at a park. This one happens to be at New York City's Brooklyn Bridge Park and spouts out things like "Kudos on the water" or "Are you a sipper or a gulper?" to unsuspecting drinkers. Watch a video of the talking fountain here.
