Another water hose

Still using my cheap-o green garden hose I picked up out of the grass at home some 20 years ago, or was that the yellow one? Come to think of it, it's yellow. I put the green one back on the spigot at home! No, I think I ended up replacing the green one with a brown one a few years ago. I cut off the ends of the green one to make "water slaves" for spigots that have no threaded ends. At any rate, the yellow one is in the camper.

I suggest, go with yellow. It seems to have lasted the longest!

Obviously, the poison in the colored hoses have zapped your memory. I bet if you look at yourself in the mirror you will be shocked to see you look 20 years older than you did when you found that hose. By abusing your body with those hose chemicals for all these years I am willing to bet you won't live a day beyond your 120th birthday.
To answer the OP's question, a cheap hose will probably last 6 months before you do something to destroy it. If you splurge and buy the best, you can probably get a good half a year out it. My hoses die of abuse long before they would ever expire due to old age.
