How long can you keep unopened bottlled water?!


Question:

How long can you keep unopened bottlled water?


Answers:
If the water was bottled commercially and is stored at room temperature it is good indefinitely, even if there is an expiration date on the bottle. Some states require expiration dates on all packaged foods, so some water bottlers put them on all their bottles, even those shipped to states that don't require them.

If the water was stored in harsh weather conditions such as extreme heat or cold for a long period of time (which the bottles are not designed for) the water can develop a stale taste depending on how pure the water is to begin with.

Once the bottle is opened it is best to have it consumed within two weeks if refrigerated or within a day if it has been standing at room temperature. The exposure to the pollutants in the air and/or the bacteria from your saliva can cause the water to go stale if its not used within that amount of time.

well if you keep the bottled water opened all night long, the next morning, it probably won't be any good because you may not know what's been going in and out of that unopended bottled water
