Not 8th grade, but 6th grade. You're supposed to be older now, but you brought the dorky lunch box to school and people are laughing at you.
But seriously, do what you want. I used one for a while years ago, but as you evolve, you find things that work best for you. For me, it's camelbak insulated bottles. I would rock a hydration pack for extended offroad adventures, but road riding? Nope.
Also, you keep using this word, "viral." I do not think this word means what you think it means.
