Scott & Sons, a company that prides itself on having over 150 years of history in American yard care, has launched H2HOSE — a [limited-edition canned water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyq) that pays playful tribute to the childhood ritual of drinking from a [garden hose](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goodland-everlasting-garden-hose). This cheeky release was created in collaboration with Ohio-based Jackie O's Brewery. O.M. Scott & Sons' H2HOSE launch blends outdoor nostalgia with [craft beverage expertise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hopinfused-sparkling-water). The product is inspired by research commissioned by the brand, which found that 45% of Americans are actively nostalgic for drinking from the hose, outpacing those who miss activities like playing catch or climbing trees. The study also found that Millennials and Gen Z homeowners specifically report that hose water tastes better than kitchen tap water. All in all, H2HOSE is positioned as a direct tribute to the summers of outdoor play, bike rides, and neighborhood games. Image Credit: O.M.
